Two fitters have returned to the business where they first learned their skills – as its new owners.
Aaron Christie and Ross Campbell will take over Jack Carmichael Flooring, with owner Neil Carmichael set to leave the Elgin, Moray business after 30 years.
Carmichael helped to guide the duo during their first period at the company before thel left to set up on their own as Campbell and Christie Flooring.
‘After a few years away gaining additional skills and knowledge working privately with their own business, they have come back and secured the company’s future for many years to come. Aaron and Ross intend to continue trading with the same values, staff and suppliers. There are plans to update the showroom and extend displays of key products,’ says Carmichael.
‘They have also recruited additional staff – allowing us to keep up with the ever-increasing demand on our services.’
Carmichael is the third generation of the family to run the company. It was set up by his grandfather Jack in 1963 before his father Brian took over in 1976. With his sudden death in 1995, Carmichael took over, aged 18, re-establishing its domestic customer base while maintaining the contract part of the business his father had concentrated on.
He will remain with the company until the end of the year and act as an ad hoc consultant.
