Now part of Topps Group, CTD Tiles remains fully committed to its customers, including those served by its specialist architectural and national housebuilder operations. With stability and commitment to stock, as well as access to an unrivalled supply chain, the tile specialist continues to be a service-driven business with the support of dedicated architectural, national housebuilder and sales support teams.
Today, businesses can still enjoy 99% stock coverage across the full CTD Tiles portfolio and very shortly 100% coverage for all housebuilder specific tile and accessory ranges. Service remains excellent, with on-site deliveries running to schedule and collection available from all of the 31 remaining CTD Tiles stores across the country (for a full list of stores visit https://www.ctdtiles.co.uk/branch.aspx).
Jonathan Wiles is now leading the commercial, architectural and national housebuilder teams within CTD Tiles alongside Parkside Architectural Tiles, a tile specification company also part of the Topps Group. He says, “The architectural and national housebuilder teams are a real success story of CTD Tiles and the commercial business accounts for almost a third of the company’s sales. We are continuing to work with clients that have benefitted from the service-focused approach of our highly experienced teams. With the additional support of the UK’s largest tile company, customers can be assured of first-rate service and business as usual into the future.”
Chris Lawrence, sales director – housebuilder, CTD Tiles emphasises, “We have worked quickly with Topps Group to ensure continuity for our customers, so that they have confidence in our ability to meet their stock, delivery and service expectations.”
The full range of CTD Tiles brands are still available and the company retains a service centre and warehouse in Kings Norton, Birmingham while integrating into the Topps Group. The acquisition of CTD Tiles by Topps Group has enabled it to expand its operations and brands with a complementing business that presents opportunity in its Mission 365 strategy to achieve annual revenues of £365m.
Rob Parker, chief executive officer Topps Group, says, “CTD Tiles has been a well-regarded name in the industry for over 50 years and one with a loyal customer base. We’ve been able to preserve a considerable part of the retail operation, while also adding the company’s thriving commercial business to our portfolio. We have been able to take this step because of the strong management we have across the group and the robust balance we work hard to maintain. Over the coming weeks our focus will be on stabilising the business, protecting as many jobs as possible, and integrating it within the Topps Group.”
Commercial orders of existing CTD tile ranges can be placed via email or phone with details on the website.
