Johnson Tiles, the UK-based specialist in the design and supply of ceramic and porcelain tiles, has announced the opening of its second retail outlet, this time in the north of England. This strategic expansion into Wakefield, West Yorkshire, signifies a major milestone for the company's new UK management team and underscores their commitment to serving the northern market with high-quality, competitively priced floor and wall tiles.
The new showroom will create three local jobs and provide a valuable resource for both DIY enthusiasts and professional tradespeople. The outlet will feature a wide range of high-quality tiles at competitive prices, including popular ranges such as KLIX RLVT, Haven, and Boundary, alongside clearance and end-of-line options.
To celebrate the opening, the company gave the first 150 customers a complimentary tub of Palace tile adhesive.
Rich Kelsall, Johnson Tiles' Commercial Director, commented on the launch: "We're delighted to be expanding our showroom footprint, providing a convenient location for customers to discover the latest tile trends, all price matched and ready to drive away.
“According to the 2024 Houzz and Home UK report, 49% of homeowners plan to renovate their home this year, and we expect the bathroom and kitchen to remain a key priority as homeowners look to enhance their most used living areas. While our ranges are all available online, we wanted to ensure customers who prefer to see and touch products in a retail environment prior to purchasing, have the option to do so.”
Since 1901, Johnson Tiles has built a strong reputation for its innovative designs, commitment to quality and outstanding service. With over £20m of product in stock, the company also boasts the largest stock holding in the UK, all ready for next-day delivery.
The company already has a physical footprint at Material Lab in Central London and an Outlet in Stoke on Trent. The new team identified a gap in the north of England for competitively priced, high-quality tiles backed-up by extensive application expertise.
“This is the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the business as we look to expand our reach and bring our exceptional design and quality to even more customers across the UK”, added Rich.
