This move will provide customers with enhanced efficiency and extend the ability to maintain Floorstock’s next-day delivery promise as demand for product continues. The new warehouse, located in Hinckley, Leicestershire, provides space for an ever- growing range of flooring and the associated products. As such, dispatch of next day orders is usually possible on nearly all of the stock lines in the company’s Trade Price Guide.
Commenting on the new premises, Sales Director Wayne Haslam said: “As well as providing a welcoming trade counter and showroom, where we can show our growing range of flooring, the new warehouse will enable us to accommodate medium term growth and ensure that we can meet our delivery commitments at times of peak demand. Over the last few years we have enjoyed rapid growth but it is important to ensure that with that level of expansion, the company doesn’t lose sight of its key strengths which remain customer service and technical expertise.”
TAKING STOCK
Flooring distributor Floorstock supplies
everything from wood flooring and finishes to subfloor machinery sales and repair.
Here, we take a look at how the company continues to grow and develop.
Midlands-based Floorstock Ltd is a national supplier of hardwood flooring and accessories. The company was founded by Managing Director, Tom Case in 2008 with the aim of providing a friendly, hands-on alternative to some of the more established national wood flooring suppliers.
Tom commented: “Our intention was to offer not only great service and rapid supply of materials, but to also offer technical support, a second opinion (when required) and to make our customers feel welcome and valued.”
The company has grown rapidly from humble beginnings with only Tom and Warehouse Manager Greg Keen, trading mainly from a tiny trade counter in Barwell, just outside Hinckley in Leicestershire.
A decade on and Floorstock is now considered one of the UK’s leading suppliers of wood floor finishes to professional flooring specialists. To continue growth and development, in 2012 Floorstock Ltd recruited Wayne Haslam, now Sales Director, in order to increase sales across the UK.
Floorstock has continued to employ the best possible people from flooring and other backgrounds based on the right person for the job, making our team of 11 people highly efficient in their individual roles. With a myriad of experience in various sectors of business Floorstock’s employees ensure that high standards in customer service, technical advice and swift and accurate execution of orders are achieved and maintained in line with the company’s original values.
The product range that Floorstock offers has grown extensively and the company recently moved to new premises with a much larger trade counter, wood flooring showroom, and warehouse.
