THE FLOORBRITE GROUP CELEBRATES RECORD -
BREAKING YEAR WITH DAZZLING REBRAND
Manchester based cleaning and facilities
service provider, Floorbrite is celebrating a er
completing a full rebrand – the first in its 47-
year history.
The family run firm will now be known as
The Floorbrite Group and has invested around
£100k into the rebrand which covers brand
development, a website redesign, new signage, a
full suite of new vehicle wraps, and an advertising
campaign.
Founded in Sale, Cheshire in 1972, The
Floorbrite Group is today headed up by second
generation Wyers, Managing Directors Nik and Alex.
The company has diversified over the years from
cleaning into a full suite of facilities management
provisions, including waste management, security,
and pest control amongst many others.
Combined with a record-breaking turnover in 2018
of more than £18.5 Million, The Floorbrite Group’s
rebrand has given clear definition to the firm’s place
in the FM and cleaning market. The firm also now
employs more than 1,500 people across the UK,
including at a base in Leeds and Birmingham as well
54 MAY 2019
as Manchester.
Nina Wyers, Marketing Director at The Floorbrite
Group said: “We’ve been planning the rebrand for a
number of years but wanted to wait until the time
was right to execute it, this year we’ve got additional
plans to extend our premises and put a real focus
on employee wellbeing, so it felt like a great way to
start the year.
“The new brand feels much more representative of
the modern Floorbrite – it’s fresh, cutting edge, and
engaging and we hope all sta feel it encompasses
the ethos of the company as it is now.
“There’s been a lot of change here in the 47 years
since my dad, Martin, set up the company and we
felt it was time that we reflected that in the look
and feel of the branding, it’s been a really insightful
and educating process and we’ve already had
amazing feedback from many of our clients and
suppliers.”
The rebrand has also future proofed the business
for future generations, enabling it to diversify
further and build on the success seen to date.
The Floorbrite Group was awarded a Finalist
place at The Golden Service Awards in 2018, a Gold
Achievement Award in the RoSPA Occupational
Health and Safety Awards 2018, as well as an
International Green World Award by the Green
Organisation in recognition for being one of the
world’s greenest companies.

CREATING SPACES TO FOSTER CONNECTIVITY AND
COLLABORATION WITH THE HELP OF FORBO
Forbo Flooring Systems’ versatile floor coverings have played a significant role
in the reimagination of Your Space, a mindful co-working environment housed
within the Stephen Lawrence Centre in Deptford, South London.
Home to the Stephen Lawrence
Charitable Trust, the centre supports
people from under-represented
backgrounds to become architects.
Forbo’s Sarlon Uni, in the Apricot
colourway, was used on each of the
floors, in corridors, staircases and
working areas within The Lounge,
The Studio and Residence Space. The
seamless flows of orange spread from
the ceilings, down the walls and finally onto the floors, connecting the di erent
spaces together and bringing them to life. The acoustic vinyl o ers a truly unique
flooring solution combining high acoustic performance of up to 19dB.
Chris Crawford, Lead Designer at Gensler said: “Orange, Stephen Lawrence’s
favourite colour, forms part of the Trust’s brand colours so it was inevitable that
we used this vibrant hue throughout the space. The bursts of orange throughout
the interior adds a real sense of energy, fuelling collaboration and connectivity.”
Allura Flex Stone Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) in Grigio Concrete were installed
throughout the top floor of the building in The Forum, a lecture space for
learning.
Fitted in the entrance area, Coral Classic in the Anthracite colourway was
used to ensure that the Your Space building remains safe and hygienic under all
weather conditions.

WARM WELCOME AT THE
NATIONAL ARMY MUSEUM
JS Air Curtains has supplied two Zen air curtains for the recently refurbished
National Army Museum in Chelsea, London, to provide a warm welcome to
visitors in its reception foyer and gi shop.
The air curtains seal the entrances while the doors are open with an invisible
barrier of air, preventing
cold air entering in
the winter and cool air
escaping in the summer.
The Zen air curtain was
selected to architecturally
fit in with the design of the
interior and, in the case of
the foyer, match the colour
of the doorway.
The Zen air curtain is
o ered with front and
rear panels in a variety of
materials and colours, and can even incorporate signs and elements such as
clocks, lighting or digital displays. At the National Army Museum, the Zen above
the main entrance was supplied in a matching RAL colour while the shop had the
standard finish.
The units are available in a choice of sizes from 1.0m to 2.5m in 0.5m
increments and can be mounted horizontally above the doorway or vertically to
the side, with the possibility of joining two or more units together to cover wide
entrances. Heating can be via electric or LPHW, as was the case at the National
Army Museum, or it can be supplied without heating as an air only model.
