The Horbury Group is an
established cluster of integrated construction based companies
operating throughout the UK providing construction solutions to a
wide client base.
Titan Interior
Solutions was acquired by the Horbury Group in 1999 and has grown
organically to expand into all areas of interior finishes, producing
an annual turnover of around £18 million. It’s a success story
that’s continuing to rumble and placing their flooring needs in the
hands of quality suppliers is at the very helm of their ethos. It’s
a mind-set that happily embraces international flooring and interiors
specialist Gerflor.
David Cartwright,
Director, Titan Interior Solutions commented, “Quality is as
important as Health and Safety. We have just launched our own
internal drive to all employees. A major part of this can be achieved
in partnership with our supply chain. The market is showing signs of
recovery but margins remain tight. Specifications are still
price-driven but not at the expense of quality. This is a constant
challenge for all manufacturers. Companies like Gerflor provide
solutions that are design led, innovative, with the right price point
and the quality they supply is never compromised”.
He also adds, “It is
extremely important to build good relationships with suppliers and
manufacturers in every part of the respective businesses. Early
engagement with the sales force is important when targeting your
future sales pipeline, whilst regular ‘health checks’ on the
account, terms and credit limits is equally promoted within our
business so we both gain an understanding of each businesses
requirements and to establish long-lasting and trusting
relationships...essential to a business like Titan. The diversity of
Gerflor’s portfolio is great and can offer clients a solution for
most floorcoverings in most sectors to include; hospitals, schools,
care homes, major sports facilities, commercial and hospitality
projects”.
Quality in any business
is key to any overall success and sustaining top levels of
consistency must also be high on the agenda. It’s this very mantra
that sets Gerflor apart.
David Cartwright
further adds, “A prime example of the Gerflor product range will be
a very prestigious project which is the main stand expansion at
Anfield Stadium where we are involved in the hospitality area. This
will see a large amount of Gerflor Creation luxury vinyl tile (LVT)
flooring being laid”. He goes on to say, “I have always found
Gerflor to be great to deal with and that’s on many levels. They
take the time to build relationships with the team, they listen to
and understand the logistical challenges and pressures we face on
sites across the country. They also take the time to learn about your
business requirements and are keen to build long and lasting relationships
with their clients”.
This year sees Gerflor
re-energise their Creation 55 LVT collection, producing some
stunningly attractive new colours, designs, effects and formats. The
Creation 55 range provides cutting-edge design-led, sustainable
solutions for most contract and residential applications and is a
perfect match for moderate traffic areas in commercial environments
including offices, hospitalities, restaurants, reception areas,
boutiques and housing.
It has a 0.55 mm wear
layer and is now available in 61 designs with 7 different sizes in
tiles and planks.
A myriad of outstanding
colours choices is available across the range; including everything
from Vintage Oak through to the evocative Spicy Grey Blue. It’s a
design and colour palette aimed at delivering eye-catching solutions
that are ‘on trend’ and that can dovetail into any creative-led
environment.
David Cartwright
finally ends by saying, “LVT is massive this year with every
manufacturer pushing new products into the market. Gerflor have an
excellent LVT product offering with good lead times and at the right
price points’
