MP joins guests at opening of £3 million design centre in Woking

Jonathan Lord MP for Woking joined invited guests at the opening of the £3 million V4 Wood Flooring design centre. The innovative and exciting ‘V4 World’ design centre will allow the company to showcase its luxury flooring products and wall panels to customers, architects, specifiers and designers in settings that demonstrate how the products can give homes the wow-factor. The company, a Woking success story, which currently has a turnover circa £12million, is targeting growth to £20million over the next three years. The business has ambitious plans to open a showroom in Clerkenwell, which is renowned for being the home of trendy design centres, followed by a centre in the North of England, with Manchester an option under consideration. The new centres will support the dealer network with a wider range of large samples for customers to view and product training facilities, including the fitting of the various floor and wall products. Investment is also being made to upgrade the ordering process for its network of retailers, offering 24-hour online ordering with instant access to stock levels and new products are planned for launch during 2019. Recently, V4 Wood Flooring managing director Chris Vincent was named as one of the country’s top business leaders in a prominent report. LDC named Chris as ‘One to Watch’ in this year’s Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders programme, supported by The Telegraph. Chris said: “I was proud to show Mr Lord around the new design centre.
