THE FLOORING SHOW GETS SET


FOR SUCCESS With over 90% of stands already sold at this year’s Flooring Show, the industry should soon start to gear up for an exciting and vibrant show, once again held in Harrogate from 20-22 September 2015.


Event Director Wendy Adams commented: “We are pleased to see our floorplan so full this early in the year. We’ve worked hard over the past few years to really bring back some big names to Harrogate and it’s fantastic we now have a great mix of familiar faces and exciting new names – I’m sure 2015 will be a great year for the show.”


In addition to favourites including Cormar Carpets, Abingdon Flooring, F Ball & Co, Lano & Lifestyle Floors, the show welcomes a host of new and returning names this year including IVC Group, Asiatic Carpets & Rugs, Uzin, Whitestone Weavers and Hugh Mackay.


The 2014 show introduced The Wool Trends Centre in conjunction with the British Wool Marketing Board and the Campaign for Wool – this popular area will return in 2015 and includes manufacturers Brockway, Cavalier, Westex, Axminster, Brintons, Adams, Bronte and Ulster – all exhibiting.


The ever popular Demo Areas run by NICF, FITA and CFA will return as will The Trends Hub. The Seminar programme will hosts a wide variety of speakers, from advice on social media and blogging to a keynote speech given by Vanessa Brady, OBE, founder of the Society of British & International Design.

CARPET CRUSHER DEBUT AT THE BUYING GROUP


SHOW Following on from an extremely successful debut at last year’s Flooring Show in Harrogate the Kenburn Carpet Crusher will be exhibiting for the first time at the Buying Group’s National Flooring Show in Solihull on the 12 and 13 May.


As members of Carpet Recycling UK Kenburn work in partnership with CRUK promoting the financial and environmental benefits of recycling new carpet offcuts as well as old post- consumer carpets and underlay.


By using carpet and underlay as a fuel for waste to energy plants, disposal costs are reduced by 30% compared to landfill so it not only makes financial sense to recycle waste carpet and underlay it also prevents recyclable waste from ending up in landfill.


Last year the UK generated 400,000 tonnes of waste carpet of which a record breaking 11,3000 tonnes was diverted from landfill (28%).


CRUK have set a target of 60% diversion from landfill by 2020.


As well as arranging all the disposal logistics for the waste carpet, Kenburn also makes visits to flooring companies throughout the UK and with a brief waste survey can establish the savings you’re likely to make on your ever increasing skip costs.
