Directors of a Hull-based industrial flooring company have expanded their offer with the launch of a commercial soft flooring division.
Roy Clark and James Carmichael from resin flooring specialists, Lasercroft have joined forces with local flooring expert, Nick Wiles to form TechCon Flooring Services which will provide commercial soft flooring installations nationwide.
TechCon’s target markets are the healthcare, education and commercial flooring sectors, and its product range includes carpet tiles, planks, vinyl sheet, luxury vinyl tiles and specialist products including acoustic vinyl and cushioned sports flooring.
Nick, managing director of TechCon, says of the rationale for the new business: ‘With access to the best products in the commercial and industrial flooring sectors and more than 60 years’ combined experience in the flooring industry, it makes commercial sense to pool our expertise and offer a complete flooring service to new and existing customers, both locally and nationwide.
‘The venture has been very well received by our existing client base and we’re confident we’ll win more contracts by offering a complete flooring package. The first few weeks have exceeded expectations and the future looks extremely promising.’
TechCon and sister company, Lasercroft offer maintenance and flooring repair services alongside tendering for larger, new build or renovation contracts.
‘It makes perfect sense to service all aspects of flooring required on a project and our clients are already enthused,’ concluded Mr. Clark.
TechCon is based at Lasercroft’s Hedon Road premises and its set up has been partly funded by the Hull & East Yorkshire LEP’s Growing Hull & East Yorkshire (GHEY) Grant Scheme, with the promise of providing jobs in the area.
Lasercroft was founded in 1997 and employs 18 local people. Its team has laid industrial floors for Hull and East Yorkshire businesses including Cranswick, Ideal Boilers, Crown Paints, Houlton and Hobson and Porter.
