INDUSTRY UPDATE THE KBSA COLUMN
Ceiling2Floor and wetrooms reports record breaking growth for the first half of 2021
C
eiling2Floor, Scotland’s #1 decorative PVC Paneling Trade Outlet, together with sister company Wetrooms
Distribution, has seen record breaking growth in the first half of 2021 with monthly turnover exceeding £1.5m across the group. Despite the supply chain challenges the wider industry has faced,
alongside the impact of COVID-19, Ceiling2Floor was able to keep its stock levels replenished and maintain trading throughout lockdown to supply its trade customers. With the lockdown home improvements boom set to continue, the
Group has invested more than £200,000 over the past six months in a new showroom and warehouse expansion, as well as opening its latest trade outlet in Dundee. The Group recently launched its new eCommerce platform allowing
trade and retail customers to shop products stocked throughout the Group’s UK branch network. Joint Managing Director Brian Crombie said: ‘The last 18 months have
presented us with many challenges but fortunately due to a strong team and robust supply chain we were able to overcome them. We will continue to increase our stock holding and expand our branch network as we look to open another two trade outlets in 2022.’
