Victoria Carpets partners with Interfloor for training


Helping retailers sell more is a common goal for Victoria Carpets of Kidderminster and Interfloor, so we were delighted to support Victoria Carpets’ retailer training courses in 2007, and are pleased to say that we will be doing so again in 2008.

The two-day courses aim to give as much information and support as possible to customers, whilst advising and educating newcomers to the industry. The agenda covers yarn technology, dyes, carpet manufacturing, and Victoria Carpets’ operations. It also includes a fitting demonstration on day two, which is where Interfloor comes in. The hands-on fitting demonstration shows delegates how to install gripper, underlay and carpet using the latest tools, technology and products.

Mark Rooney, Victoria Carpets’ National Sales Manager said, “Victoria Carpets is proud of its reputation for producing high quality tufted and Wilton products and we wanted to partner with a quality underlay and accessories manufacturer. Interfloor is the clear UK market leader and brings a wealth of expertise to share with our delegates. This helps make the fitting demonstration one of the most popular parts of our training course.”

The courses are held at Victoria Carpets’ Kidderminster headquarters and are run three times a year. The dates for 2008 are 8th/9th April, 24th/25th June and 7th/8th October. For further details please contact Claire Gough from Victoria Carpets on 01562 749300.
