For the 12th consecutive year, Cormar Carpet Company is delighted to be voted Best UK Carpet Manufacturer by readers of Interiors Monthly.
Receiving the award again is a great privilege and we would like to say a huge thank you to all of our customers, suppliers and colleagues for their ongoing support over the past year.
We have been manufacturing carpet in the UK for more than 65 years from our mills in Lancashire, building up an award-winning portfolio of carpet ranges. A cornerstone of our success is the dedicated team working diligently behind the scenes to ensure top-tier service for retail, wholesale and contract customers.
Over the past year, we have made substantial investments, with five new ranges successfully launched into the market. Among these, the Easy Clean loop Primo Textures has gained rapid popularity. As our first synthetic loop pile carpet, it represents a significant milestone and a strong addition to the loop market. The year also saw the relaunch of our popular Inglewood Saxony and Sensation ranges, both now available in a refreshed palette of colour options.
Our award-winning trade portal, launched in 2011, continues to grow, with more than 66% of customers placing orders online. A recent survey revealed that more than 90% of users consider it the best in the industry. This year, enhancements worth over £100,000 were made, including a new pending deliveries area and functionality improvements to the after-sales area.
This year we have also expanded our distribution fleet with the acquisition of 10 new trucks and 15 demount boxes, all equipped with the latest technology and safety features. This investment maintains our high standards of quality, efficiency and safety.
Additionally, we continue to advance our manufacturing process, particularly with enhancements to our backing plant. These have led to significant gains in quality and customer satisfaction, prompting ongoing investment to further elevate reliability and excellence.
"Being awarded Best Carpet Manufacturer for the 12th consecutive year is a tremendous honour for everyone at Cormar Carpets. Our substantial investments this year have propelled us forward as a dynamic leader in the market, so it’s great for the Cormar team to be recognised once again for the hard work and determination that they have put in," says David Cormack, Cormar marketing director.
