Raised Floor Solutions is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a move to new premises.
RFS has taken over a modern office building in Skelmersdale, where the group was established in 2003 and has been operating from ever since. The new premises, on White Moss Business Park, also includes electrical vehicle charging for the business’s fleet of hybrid vehicles.
This is another milestone in the growth and progress of the business, which became employee owned in 2019. Since inception, Raised Floor Solutions has grown to become the largest and most highly respected composite decking and reinforced concrete companies in the UK. It is also Kingspan’s largest Multideck steel decking and access flooring supply and installation partner, and one of the country’s largest access flooring companies.
Alongside the company anniversary, several members of staff are celebrating two decades of service, including managing director and co-founder, Graham Hewitt, and construction director, Andy Wharton.
Says Andy, “The business started life as Metal Deck and I joined as its first contract manager in 2001. Metal Deck was later incorporated into Raised Floor Solutions after we recognised there was a market for a range of specialist flooring services, such as reinforced concrete floor slabs and raised access flooring.
“Over the years we’ve grown and adapted our offering, adding car park floors as a specialism through the creation of our Metpark division, and also metal roof deck installation through Metalroof. Much of our success is due to the commitment and knowledge of our employees and the solid relationships we’ve been able to build with clients,” he adds.
