Yorkshire flooring specialist on the up with £500k investment for bigger premises

A regional flooring specialist is expanding its independent business with £490k investment for new larger premises.

All Floors UK Limited, a Pontefract-based family business, run by husband and wife team Donna and Chris Caulton, has purchased a new 11,500 sq ft unit on Langthwaite Grange Industrial Estate - close to their current base in South Elmsall.

The new warehousing unit, formerly Whittaker Carpets, once fully refurbished, aims to create greater showroom, storage and office space for the successful flooring retailer which currently employs 32 staff.

Sheffield’s Wake Smith Solicitors acted for the purchasers with HSBC providing the funding.

All Floors UK Limited’s director, Donna Caulton, said: “All Floors is a family business that has gone from strength to strength.

“Our positive experience serving residential customers has allowed us to progress onto larger projects and we have been successful in winning large commercial contracts, which has seen us outgrow our current premises…

“The new unit, once substantially refurbished, will allow us to improve our residential flooring offering and satisfy new commercial work and further growth plans we have… There could be potential jobs in the pipeline and therefore mean increasing the number of employees to 40.”

All Floors UK was founded in 2013 and sells carpets, rugs, wall and floor coverings as well as offering a full project management, supply and fitting service to both new housing developments and commercial projects.

Paul Gibbon, director in Wake Smith’s commercial property division, added: “We were really pleased to be able to advise Donna and Chris on the unit’s purchase, which is a major step forward in the firm’s development.

“We are delighted to have helped another independent Yorkshire business expand and wish them the best of luck for the future.”
