Hello and welcome to the June issue of Tomorrow’s Contract Floors!
This month’s issue has a bit more of a personal touch to it than usual, as we visit the Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre to discover the moving stories of real people which adorn its floors. As part of our spotlight feature, we find out why the theatre’s floors are decorated with commemorative plaques and investigate some of the stories behind the messages.
From one heartfelt gesture to another, we talk to a man who is helping veterans broaden their job opportunities by teaching them the rare skill of carpet dyeing and restoration. Chris Howell, of Colourful Carpets, travels around the world delivering training courses for those looking to learn the art of carpet dyeing. Inside, find out why he reserves spots on each course for veterans, free of charge.
We look closer into the educational opportunities available for those in the flooring industry in our dedicated Training and Education; with features from The Preparation Group, Quick-Step Academy, and
F.Ball.
Also in this issue, we have features on Office Flooring and Screeds, Resins and Coatings; as well as advice from Ecotile on the key points to consider if you’re thinking to expand your business into Europe. As usual, we also have the latest updates and product innovations from the industry.
I hope you enjoy the read!
