Gymflooring as a company was established in early 2011 as the Sports Flooring division of UK Flooring Contractors Ltd.
These days Gymflooring are one of the UK’s leading supply and install specialists for all sports flooring projects.
Managing Director, Gym Flooring, John Harris comments: “We were carrying out a lot of flooring works within the health and fitness sector and thought it would be beneficial to set up our own division.”
As ever the relationship between manufacturers and clients is always seen as key to overall success. John Harris adds: “Our supply chain is extremely important to us, we rely on manufacturers like Gerflor to constantly manufacture and supply good quality products for our customers.
"Within the health and fitness sector I need to be assured that the material we are specifying will firstly arrive on time, and more importantly stand up to the day-to-day punishment that it’s put through within a gym environment.
"My relationship with our suppliers is of utmost importance, I only specify materials from tried and trusted suppliers, many of whom I have been with for the last 25 years.
"Gerflor has a product for every type of sport or exercise in the health and fitness sector, this makes our job of specifying very easy. We always specify their Taraflex® products for any of our sports hall floor installations."
