Floor Factory
Derby
At Floor Factory, we have one of the largest showrooms in the area and pride ourselves on only having the best quality brands available in store. As a family owned business, we offer the kind of one to one service you would expect from an independent retailer. All our showroom staff are fully trained, many with years in the industry who are therefore very knowledgeable. When you purchase your Woodpecker products from Floor Factory you will receive the best service possible in store, backed up with a high quality installation should you require it. We also offer a two year installation warranty for complete peace of mind.
Meet the Team:
John Barlow | Director
After setting up and running a successful flooring company in Chesterfield for 5 years I decided to sell that business and open Floor Factory with Bronya. We opened our showroom in Derby in March 2012. Since then I’ve been pleased to see this new business grow and develop and since an expansion of the shop in 2015 we have received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback from our loyal customers. We have a small team here, so you will likely meet me at some point during your visit. We look forward to welcoming you very soon.
Rob Durnie | Store Manager
I have worked in the retail side of the flooring industry for almost 25 years now and have been Store Manager at Floor Factory since 2013. You will usually find me on the shop floor, meeting and serving customers. As I’ve seen many changes in the flooring industry over the years and I have gathered plenty of technical product knowledge that I’m happy to pass onto you. So if you want to know more details about the products you are interested in, I look forward to helping you out.
Macey Cooling | Office Manager
After working as an Admin Assistant for Floor Factory for many years, I became Office Manager in 2022. I assist Rob with the general running of the showroom and the customer ordering process along with managing our small admin team. Since purchasing my first home in 2019, I have been keenly interested in finding the latest interior trends online and have been using this to help our customers find a design and style that is unique to them.
Kian Barlow | Floor Layer
After leaving school in 2017 I joined the family business as an apprentice floor layer. In 2019 I received my diploma, NVQ and completed the Karndean Designflooring apprenticeship scheme. In the years since then, I’ve learned so much more on the job and grown in confidence and skill.
Matt Sims | Installations Manager
I trained as a floor layer straight from school so I have almost 20 years experience and in this time have been able to learn more intricate laying skills such as installing unusually shaped stair runners and sisal carpets. After a few years installing high-end wood and intricate designs of LVT at Floor Factory, I became the Installations Manager, supervising our small team and taking on the more complicated installations we sometimes undertake here.
Ryan Durnie | Floor Layer
I worked as a flooring installer from 2009-2015 before switching careers, but then I returned to the Floor Factory team in 2023 to re-train and develop, and now I hope to have a long lasting career in flooring. I look forward to the challenge of advanced LVT installations, which Floor Factory specialise in, and improving my skills and knowledge with engineered wood and designer carpets.
Katie Voxby | Sales
I joined the Floor Factory team part time in March 2021. My main duties are administrative, but I also spend time serving customers and advising on our vast range of products. I recently visited the Woodpecker HQ in Wales to see up close how high quality wood flooring is produced and manufactured. Trips like this have given me a real insight into the very high standard of flooring brands that we sell here at Floor Factory.
Ange Martin | Sales
I joined the admin team in Spring 2024. My main duties are office based but, as we are such a small team here, we all do a bit of everything so I also work on the shop floor serving customers and advising them on all the different flooring choices available. I’m still learning all about the huge range of flooring we install here at Floor Factory and look forward to passing on this knowledge to you when you visit the showroom.
