James Latham’s new dedicated flooring division opens for business at the company’s Thurrock site on January 4.
The new “one-stop shop” will display Lathams’ range of solid and engineered wood flooring, as well as adhesives, screeds, underlays and liquid DPMs, under one roof.
Lathams introduced a range of pre-finished wood flooring across all nine of its depots seven years ago and the business has grown to a point where a centralised and specialist division is now required.
Paul Latham, who will head the new division, said it would cover the latest developments in flooring technology and products as well as current trends and fashions.
“The flooring champions at each of our depots across the group have done an excellent job in getting the flooring business to where it is today and they all deserve a lot of credit, but we have come to a point where we are now appealing to a much wider customer base and are looking to offer a more rounded and comprehensive service to architects, designers, flooring contractors and flooring retailers,” said Mr Latham.
