UK Flooring Direct expands into new offices and warehouse
UK Flooring Direct is ramping up its expansion with the opening of a new warehouse and offices.
The company’s headquarters are in Hinckley in Lecicestershire but it has now taken an additional 54,000 square foot unit on Prologis Park in Coventry where 70 of its 160 staff members will eventually work.
Staff there will be working across a range of departments including sales, customer service, distribution, finance, IT and warehouse. The new office will also lead to new jobs being created.
Founded by Jason Ashby (pictured) in 2005, UK Flooring Direct now has £50 million worth of annual sales in its sights.
Ashby said: “This is the latest step in our continuing growth story. We have invested significantly in technology, people and products over recent years and that is an ongoing process to ensure we continue to innovate in the way we serve our customers all over the country.
“Our target is rapid growth as we tap into an ever-expanding demand for wood and laminate flooring, with customers welcoming our expertise and experience in this area as well as the fact that we offer convenience in delivering to their door.”
