Autumn 2015
Welcome to the Autumn issue of Tomorrow’s Retail Floors. Traditionally, this is one of the busiest periods for retailers as customers look to make improvements to their homes before the Christmas period.
With that in mind we hope to help you to inspire your clients to embrace new trends. Whether they want to update their interiors in the latest styles or simply understand benefit of LVT, you’re sure to find helpful and informative tips.
Also in this issue we pop in-store at the new high-street flooring chain, Tapi to meet up with CEO and founder Martin Harris. As the son of Carpetright founder Lord Harris and a former director of the well-known chain, Martin shares his insight into the world of flooring retail and discusses his plans to revolutionise the customer shopping experience.
Finally, don’t miss our feature on the Brinton’s archive. We visited the Kidderminster headquarters to meet archivist Yvonne Smith and learn about the fascinating history of the carpet industry through the vast pattern collection.
As always, I hope you enjoy this issue!
