Having started in the flooring trade managing eight flooring departments for a successful retail chain, Barnwood agencies director Andy (pictured) moved on to create Cheltenham Interiors Ltd – multi retail flooring showrooms specialising in flooring and interior design for show homes and supplying retail and contracting clients.
At its peak the business had four stores/showrooms with its own distribution hub and a multi-million-pound turnover, before being sold to a well-known flooring supply chain back in 2009.
During this same period with Cheltenham Interiors, Andy also started a separate distribution business – producing LVT under a brand created called “Elements”, when LVT was in its infancy.
At that time, the company had sole UK distributor for Amtico Spacia, and one of just a handful of distributors for Forbo Allura.
Andy’s experience from these entrepreneurial endeavours has taught him that by personally funding his own businesses, he retains a clear focused approach in terms of being selective about what we sell and who we sell to, in order to achieve success, as opposed to a “scatter-gun” approach which involves attempting to flood the market and hope for the best.
By achieving success in this way, we have been able to focus much more clearly on all cost implications and maximise business potential.
Currently in addition to the Barnwood Agencies business Andy also has a directorship in Oppulant Ltd and has held this position since November 2011.
Oppulant Ltd are the main sales agency for the UK and Ireland Representing: EarthWerks® LVT / Graboplast Zrt / Perfilstar SA / Art-wood Ltd.
Oppulant Ltd principal, Earthwerks® LVT is a proud manufacturer member of the Contract Flooring Association, CFA* focusing exclusively on B2B for these successful brands.
