The UK’s largest flooring contractor, Designer Contracts has moved into new headquarters, four times the size of its former premises.
The impressive space, located in Chesterfield, boasts 8,000 sq ft, with room to accommodate 50 people plus meeting and conference facilities.
The company has moved 25 members of the team over to the new site, while retaining the existing offices at the original Holmewood Chesterfield site which will now house its central region’s administration and warehouse teams.
Said Designer Contracts md, Peter Kelsey: “We are thrilled to have finally moved into our new HQ. We were due to move at the end of March, but like many, had to put our plans on hold until it was safe to make the transition.
“The move comes after significant growth, and we felt it was time to increase the overall space for our team, giving us ample room to grow further.”
In addition, the company is now fully compliant with the UK government guidelines on managing the risk of Covid 19 – and has been certified as a ‘Covid Safe’ employer. To receive the certification, a number of measures have been put in place throughout the business to minimise the risk of transmission. They include carrying out a Covid-19 risk assessment and sharing with employees, taking all reasonable steps to maintain a two-metre distance in the workplace, and supporting employees to work from home where possible, all while ensuring the necessary handwashing and hygiene procedures are in-line with guidance.
Designer Contracts operates across 15 UK regional facilities. As well as flooring, the company provides curtains and blinds, furniture and lighting, and operates a showhome interior design services division.
The company has recently been recognised as one of the top 200 businesses in Derbyshire and has been highlighted as contributing to the local economy and leading from the front.
