A tile manufacturer and distributor has opened a new showroom and offices.

The new showroom houses the firm’s premises extensive wall and floor tile collection as well as The Hub, its design-led conferencing and meeting facility. The new premises also accommodate the marketing, sales and design teams and staff from the supply chain department.
The company, which has its manufacturing site in Heathfield, Devon, and supplies customers in the UK and overseas, began as Candy Tiles and has been through several transformations since its inception.

“The Hub is integral to our business growth. It gives the sales teams a professional, design-led customer meeting facility in the North and the product development team a creative space in which they can plan and launch new collections.”
