The Company was incorporated on 13th January 2005 and commenced trading on 14th January 2005 operating as a retail carpet, curtain and blind retailing business. It was established by Stewart Culllingford (“Mr Cullingford”), a Company director and the majority shareholder. Mr Cullingford has 27 years’ experience within the industry and run the Company with his wife and co-director, Sharon Cullingford (“Mrs Cullingford”).

The family run business, established in the late 1970s, provided full carpet & smooth flooring, curtain, blinds and fabric sales to an established customer base offering a full fitting service with a guarantee. The business also offered a whipping service to private customers and other local businesses from its Gillingham location.
