Ardex, whose soul lies in the crafting of tiles and the creation of flooring solutions, has particular expertise in mending the worn paths of wood floors. Their alliance with Welch’s was born out of necessity and fortuitous timing, especially after the melancholic dusk of Courtenham Warehousing and Distribution – a name that for three long decades had been synonymous with Ardex UK.
Yet, as nature teaches us, endings lead to new beginnings. With the dawn of their partnership, Welch’s not only moved the weight of Ardex’s products, from the palletized freight to the intricate details of flooring, but they also became an ambassador of the Ardex name, parading artics and rigids adorned with the Ardex emblem. And if one were to measure the pulse of their efficiency, a sterling 98.8% of timely deliveries would stand testament to their commitment.
Jim Welch, the helmsman of Welch’s Transport, mused on their recent evolution, “Last year, the winds of change prompted us to pivot, to focus on the core fleet and the intricacies of groupage.” The new chapter with Ardex, for Jim, wasn’t merely an addition to their ledger; it was a badge of honor, earned against the tides of larger, looming competitors.
Ardex, tucked away in the quaint town of Haverhill in Suffolk, is a beacon in the flooring industry. Their repertoire, ranging from the shield of damp proof membranes to the art of tile adhesives, resonates with a promise – quality that doesn’t weigh heavy on the pocket.
