Hardwood flooring manufacturer and distributor Atkinson & Kirby has opened a 3,0000ft2 sales office, trade counter and showroom in Hounslow, London.
Ray Scott, managing director of the Lancashire company, said: “Now we have got the branch we can expand it further.
“This is the first time that the company has opened a branch office away from our Ormskirk base. It is testament to our commitment to the industry that we have decided to expand to support our London trade customers.”
Mr Scott said the company had seen growth in the hardwood flooring market, often fuelled by people trading up from laminate flooring.
The new branch will carry stocks of flooring and accessories ready for immediate collection. Items not in stock will be delivered from the Ormskirk warehouse the next day.
