Strategy

Headlam markets, supplies and distributes an extensive range of floorcovering products to independent flooring retailers and contractors throughout the UK, France, Switzerland and the Netherlands. 

The group’s operational strategy is focused on providing our customers with an up to date comprehensive range of competitively priced floorcovering products with the support of a next day delivery.

As part of this strategy, Headlam offers its suppliers the opportunity to achieve wide market penetration backed by cost effective distribution. In implementing this strategy, Headlam has developed a diverse and autonomous structure with 49 businesses in the UK and a further five in Continental Europe. 

A key factor contributing to the group’s success is the individuality of experienced management teams who are responsible for the market presence, development and ultimate profitability of their business.

Each business is supported by the commitment to continued investment in people, product, facilities and IT. This commitment has provided the basis for the group’s growth and performance enabling it to develop into Europe’s leading floorcovering distributor.
