Notes for Editors:
Operating for 28 years, Headlam is Europe's leading
floorcoverings distributor.
Headlam provides the distribution channel between suppliers and
trade customers of floorcoverings. Working in partnership with
suppliers across the globe manufacturing a diverse range of
floorcovering products and ancillary accessories, Headlam provides
an unparalleled route to market for their products across the UK
and certain Continental European territories.
The utilisation of an outsourced distribution channel enables
manufacturers to focus on their core activities, incur reduced
costs associated with distribution, and benefit from localised
sales, marketing and distribution expertise that provides a more
effective and greater route to market for their products.
To maximize customer and market penetration, and reflecting the
regionalised nature of the marketplace, Headlam comprises 67
individual businesses in the UK and Continental Europe (France, the
Netherlands and Switzerland) each operating under their own unique
trade brand and utilising individual sales teams.
Headlam's extensive customer base, operating within both the
residential and commercial sectors and comprising principally
independent retailers and flooring contractors, receives the
broadest product offering supported by next day delivery as well as
additional marketing and other support.
Headlam's offering is enabled through its unrivalled operating
expertise, long-established supplier and customer relationships,
and comprehensive distribution network. Following years of
considerable investment, Headlam's distribution network currently
comprises four national distribution hubs, 19 regional distribution
centres and a supporting network of smaller warehouse premises,
trade counters, showrooms and specification centres.
In 2019, Headlam worked with 190 suppliers from 19 countries and
fulfilled 5.3 million customer orders.
