A FORTE FOR DISPLAY
When Distinctive Flooring were looking for an experienced installer to work on in-store display units for their luxury vinyl Landscape collection, they appointed ADP Distribution.
ADP Distribution’s professional, highly experienced installation team are known to have great attention to detail which was a requisite for this project.
The ADP team successfully installed the units at two locations: Toons Home Furnishers in Swadlincote and the second Wheatcrofts Flooring in Newark.
Because ADP understands that each client’s products are different and everyone works under different time schedules, the company works to an agreed timeframe to install the displays without disrupting the client’s working hours.
Commenting on ADP’s installation service, Sharon Taylor of Wheatcrofts Flooring said: “Fab guys, did an amazing job, the stand looks fab!”
In-store display installation generally takes place across multiple sites over several days or weeks as opposed to exhibition stand building at single locations on a specific day. It therefore requires meticulous planning and a high level of consistency. ADP are well placed to deliver this with over 50 years of combined experience and a magnitude of previous satisfied clients.
ADP offer a comprehensive service from quotation to completion with a keen emphasis on client interaction throughout.

Three years after Lincolnshire care worker Jess Wells walked into a construction careers event, she’s now the first woman to have achieved a highly specialised construction qualification.
Jess, 29, was working in care in 2018 when she attended an event aimed at encouraging young people into the industry as part of Lincolnshire Construction Week, supported by CITB and local businesses and trade associations.
After witnessing a talk at the event given by Lincoln-based surface preparation specialists The Preparation Group, Jess approached the company and was later taken on.
Jess said: “I enjoy journeying around the country with the people I work with, there is never a dull moment. I am on site with guys using high tech machinery.
“My goal is to be a site manager to mentor and train more females. It doesn’t matter if you are male or female you need to love what you do to deliver results.”
However, Jess has run up against issues faced by women working in a sector dominated by men, such as a lack of suitable personal protective equipment (PPE) and work clothing, and even a recent site not having women’s welfare facilities or female toilets.
Jess’s NVQ was assessed by the Resin Flooring Association (FeRFA), the not-for-profit trade body representing manufacturers, contractors and companies in industrial and commercial resin flooring, screeding and surface preparation.
FeRFA confirmed that Jess was the first woman to achieve NVQ Level 2 Specialist Concrete Occupations (Construction) – Substrate Preparation and Profiling, handling the equipment with ease and expertise, demonstrating ability and determination.
Jess said: “I thought working on site might be intimidating, but if you are interested in learning, people will show you how to do things right, help and support you. Go for it, it is entirely down to you.”
