Granwax commits to raising industry standard as part of the British Wood Flooring Association
Expert
floor finish company, Alfreton-based Granwax Products Limited, is helping to
shape the future of the British flooring industry with the development of the
first industry-recognised organisation, the British Wood Flooring Association.
Developed
in partnership with ten other companies, the British Wood Flooring Association
(BWFA) has been created to raise the standards of the wood flooring industry through
education and training. For installers
and suppliers, membership to the BWFA demonstrates a commitment to upholding
the highest standards of craftsmanship in both the installation process and
product aftercare. The Association also
acts as an independent reference point for customers who want a top quality
product, together with guaranteed peace of mind.
“The
UK
flooring industry has never been standardised nor had a representative trade
body. At Granwax Products we knew it was
vital to the future of the industry that such an organisation should be
established, both as an impartial resource for customers and to improve
industry standards through specialist training,” explains Carl Blythe, Director
of Granwax Products Limited.
“It
is extremely important to us that other companies and, more importantly,
flooring contractors, embrace the Association.
Not only will it demonstrate their dedication to maintaining and raising
industry standards, but also to give their customers and distributors the
reassurance that they are receiving the best products and service on the
market,” continues Carl.
Since
its inception the BWFA is going from strength to strength with the opening of
its own training facility in Birmingham. The specialist education facility for
installers and finishers is helping to raise the standards of the industry, as
well as ensuring future generations have the correct skills to maintain, and
improve on, the benchmarks that have already been set.
“Going
forward we hope the BWFA will act as an industry mark of quality workmanship
our members will be able to display, and which customers will recognise as a
sign that they will receive only the highest standards of skill and service,”
adds Carl.
