Following this, it hopes to work with more public sector organisations in the future.
The company believes it is a pioneer in plant based paint making.
It aims to influence regulatory change, which would result in a major shift in the UK paint market towards natural paints.
A spokesperson for the company said: "It is exciting to be part of a paint revolution, not only in the way that we sell and deliver paint to our customers, but also by fundamentally changing the way we make paint without depleting the planets resources.
"It is long known that a climate crisis is approaching and the only way to avert a crisis is to act."
To help it maximise these opportunities, it has worked with the Manufacturing Growth Programme on several projects.
The Manufacturing Growth Programme has been supporting growth in manufacturing since October 2016 by identifying, understanding and removing barriers to growth.
The business worked closely with their local growth manager Catherine Bray on a project to develop a corporate sustainability impact report for the business which the programme was able to part fund.
Emma Bulmer, director of Natural Paint UK said, "We are extremely grateful to the Manufacturing Growth Programme for its support – we small businesses need it."
Catherine Bray said: "It’s great to see Natural Paint UK accessing funding from the programme to support areas of business improvement such as marketing, corporate sustainability and systems development."
