EDITOR’S VOICE Hello and welcome to the August issue of TCF.
Usually, around this time of year we are all busy planning holidays and getaways. This time though, while some of us might still be braving the airports and threat of imposed quarantine, the focus has firmly shifted to planning a safe return to work. The effects of the coronavirus crisis have meant that the way we work may be changed forever.
While office workers the world over have been used to remote working, the government has now decided it’s time to reopen businesses and get back to work. This has presented the flooring industry with new opportunities and manufacturers have risen to the challenge by creating new floorcoverings ranges that can aid social distancing by incorporating logos and zoning. Many companies have also been on-hand to offer technical advice and expertise to help transform buildings into NHS use to deal with the crisis.
However, while a return to work is welcomed, it’s not without its obstacles. Safe distance working guidelines have affected both commercial and residential contractors and made it impossible for fitters to work in people’s homes from March onwards. The advice has now changed and installations can resume as long as government guidelines are adhered to.

Even if coronavirus has shown us that there can be no such thing as firm plans, I hope that you manage to take a well-deserved break this summer – whether at home or away.
Enjoy the issue!
