Leicestershire flooring firm to create 60 jobs
A national online flooring retailer, which is based in Hinckley, has broken through the 100 staff mark.
UK Flooring Direct, which moved to the Hinckley Commercial Park less than a year ago, has been hiring for a range of roles in the past few months and, having hit the 100 mark, says it is still on the hunt for more people in a range of sales, IT, marketing and warehouse roles.
The latest recruits include Jordan Simpson, as trade account manager; Luke Scott, as head of category; Peter Bradley, as samples fulfilment manager; and Sarah Genner, as samples consultant, to take the company into treble figures. All four are from the Hinckley and Nuneaton area.
The recruiting process is being managed Faye Summers, the company’s head of HR and people development, as the firm looks to take on another 60 staff in the next couple of years.
UK Flooring Direct manager director Jason Ashby, who founded the firm with his wife, Lisa, said the company is playing a positive role in the local community.
He said: “We are delighted to reach the 100 staff mark and credit must go to Faye who has hit the ground running in managing our recruitment as well as the training and development of the staff who were already here.
“The company has big plans for growth and we can only do that by attracting the right people who want to be part of this exciting time for the business.”
