The Company currently comprises over 60 wholly-owned floorcoverings distribution businesses in the UK and Continental Europe each operating under their own trade brand. Each business is supported by the Company’s centralised and financial resources and extensive distribution network, and the Company’s scale allows the businesses to benefit from greater access to suppliers of floorcovering products. An extensive range of floorcovering products (including carpet, vinyl, wood and laminate) is sourced from suppliers across 13 countries, who gain considerable access into the European market. The Company’s distribution network (comprising distribution hubs, distribution centres and service centres) allows customers to benefit from next day delivery as well as an extensive product range. The Company’s customers are within the residential and commercial sectors and comprise principally independent retailers and flooring contractors with whom the Company’s businesses typically have long standing relationships. A greater reach is achieved into the customer base by each business operating under their own trade brand and utilising their individual sales teams.
