The venue and entertainment were first-class and it was great to see that so many people from across the flooring industry came along to support the event. The F Ball team enjoyed a great day and we were delighted to pick up an incredible seven awards, including adhesives manufacturer/supplier of the year. We’re already looking forward to next year!’
Similar praise came from Matthew Brown, managing director of Uzin Utz UK Ltd, who said: ‘The CFJ Awards ceremony was a great event and acknowledged the fantastic work of the flooring industry. Uzin Utz UK was proud to win two of the eight awards we were finalists for.’

Added Hamish MacGregor, founder of MacGregor Flooring: ‘The glamorous Dallas Burston polo club was an excellent venue set in the exclusive 600 acre estate, giving it a true feeling of opulence. I’m still in shock after receiving the lifetime achievement award and was already on a high after receiving the refurbishment in offices award. That capped a day to remember.’
Wayne Smart, category and marketing director at TradeChoice Carpet & Flooring, said: ‘It was a great event, well organised as ever – well done to all concerned.’
Richard Bailey, managing director of floorwise, said that the awards was, on the whole, ‘very good and the venue was nice and large and the food was great’.

Alison Kitchingman of Milliken thought the event was ‘impressive and enjoyable’, adding that Dallas Burston was ‘a great venue, easy to get to with great parking and a good outdoor area for pre-lunch drinks. It had good air-conditioning, lovely food, the company on our table was good, the atmosphere was easy and relaxed, and the winners were worthy.’
