ABINGDON FLOORING
‘Being named Best UK Flooring Manufacturer by Interiors Monthly readers is a proud moment for everyone at Abingdon Flooring. Awards are always special, but recognition from the retailers and industry professionals we work alongside every day makes this achievement particularly meaningful. It reflects not only the quality of our products, but the relationships, trust and shared ambition that have helped shape our business,’ says Charlotte Coop, Abingdon Flooring head of marketing.
Innovation has always been at the heart of Abingdon Flooring. As consumer lifestyles evolve, so do consumers’ expectations of flooring, and the company is committed to staying ahead of those changing needs. Whether it’s developing carpets that combine exceptional softness with outstanding durability or introducing fresh colours and textures inspired by the latest interior trends, its goal is simple: to create flooring that performs beautifully and looks fantastic in every home.
That spirit of innovation led to the launch of Abingdon Flooring’s hard flooring brand Simply Smooth. Bringing together contemporary design, practicality and quality, Simply Smooth allows its retail partners to offer customers an extensive collection backed by the service and support they have come to expect from Abingdon Flooring.
‘It’s a natural extension of our business and an exciting new chapter as we continue to broaden our flooring offering. Alongside innovation, sustainability remains a key focus for the future of our business. We know that creating great flooring also means taking responsibility for how it is made. From responsible sourcing and improving manufacturing efficiencies to reducing waste and continually reviewing our environmental impact, sustainability is embedded in the way we think and the decisions we make. It is an ongoing journey, and we are committed to being carbon net-zero by 2037,’ says Coop.
‘At the centre of everything is our brand promise: Feel at Home with Abingdon. More than a strapline, it defines who we are. It means helping consumers create homes they love through flooring they can rely on. It means making every interaction with Abingdon easy, supportive and personal. And it means building lasting partnerships with our retailers, ensuring they always feel valued, listened to and confident in working with us.
‘Winning Best UK Flooring Manufacturer is a fantastic achievement for the entire Abingdon team. It reflects the passion, innovation and dedication that goes into everything we do, from developing exciting new products like Simply Smooth to supporting our retail partners every step of the way. We are incredibly grateful for the continued trust placed in the Abingdon brand.
‘This award celebrates where we’ve come from, but it also inspires where we’re going next. We will continue to invest in innovation, to champion sustainability and provide the products, service and support that help both retailers and consumers truly Feel at Home with Abingdon.’
