‘Despite challenging market conditions, 2024 has started positively and we have every confidence of a successful year and most importantly another major step towards our medium term objectives,’ says Tony Brewer, Likewise chief executive.
‘The group has made significant progress in the last three years. The board thanks the management, sales teams and all staff for their tremendous contribution to developing the group and what has been achieved in such a short time.
‘Developing the group’s market presence is fundamental to achieving its aspirations with the 94 sales management and sales executives absolutely focused on their daily visits to independent flooring retailers and contractors to maximise the various brands and in-store displays.’
