About Dukes

Transforming spaces since 1958

Henk and Jeanette Dukino founded the original business, Henk J Dukino Painters and Decorators, in 1958. Over 36 years, they established a reputation for quality work and customer service, leading them to become one of the largest and most respected painting companies in NSW.

In 1994, they passed the reins to their son Peter, a civil engineer, who later rebranded it to Dukes. The business continued to thrive, completing work on some of the most notable landmarks in Australia and some of the most prestigious properties in the state.

Peter served as both President of the Master Painters Association and Manager of the apprenticeship program, with a strong focus on training young Australians.

Painting the present, a legacy of quality

Having retired from overseeing daily operations at Dukes, Peter has passed the leadership to Paul Williams, who began as an apprentice in 2003 and shares the same mission and values.

Paul’s extensive experience spans major areas such as commercial painting, sales, estimation, project management and general management. Committed to continuous development, he embodies what it means to be a “Dukes person” and actively cultivates talent within the company.

A Dukes person is characterised by family values, hard work, grit and dedication to quality.
