Firm lays concrete growth plans with £1 million outlay
A concrete flooring firm says it has laid foundations for growth after a £1 million headquarters and equipment investment.
Level Best Concrete Flooring has converted ex-farm buildings into office and warehouse space at its East Yorkshire base.
The company has also fitted a “UK-first” joint-free concrete floor and bought a concrete crusher to recycle the material into new aggregate.
Bosses have hailed the “milestone” outlay, saying it will boost work across numerous sectors and allow the firm – which operates from the outskirts of Goole – push beyond previous turnover of £14.5 million.
Founded in 2017, the business works across a number of sectors, with headline work for a household food retailer matched by a project to install concrete flooring at Siemens Gamesa’s Hull-based blade factory.
Its teams are also working on industrial units at Hull’s Priory Park and at Witham, in Essex.
Jon Wilcox, managing director, said: “I am absolutely gobsmacked with the success we’ve achieved, and I am thoroughly looking forward to what the future will bring.
“When we started, we could only have imagined the growth and improvements that have taken our workplace forward.”
Jon, who founded the business with colleagues Adam Brown, Luke Morrow and Chris Wood, said its new warehouse – based at Swinefleet Common – has capacity to house an expanding equipment fleet that includes laser screeds, power floats and grinding machines.
Jon said: “This gives us something specific to our needs – a lot more office and warehouse accommodation, which we will grow into.
“The new crushing machine brings greater sustainability; it reduces our carbon footprint and gives customers greater assurance we are managing everything safely.
“And the joint-free floor has great potential in food production and storage because it helps raise hygiene standards by not having cracks.”
