Leeds-based tile importer and distributor Ceramique Internationale has recorded 20% growth in turnover across all its operations as it approaches half a century in business.
The company, also familiar for its Tiles and Mosaics showroom in Leeds, says it’s bounced back stronger than ever following the Covid-enforced lockdown, which forced a partial shift to online trading.
The boom in online purchasing has continued post-lockdown, while footfall into the Tiles and Mosaics showroom has returned to consistent pre-Covid levels, reportedly contributing to an increase of almost 60% in consumer revenue in January 2023.
Ceramique Internationale has achieved a similar increase in commercial revenue, it says, owing to a resurgence in specification projects – many of which were put on hold during the pandemic – ranging from warehouses and car showrooms, to hotels, bars and leisure spas.
The company recently launched a dedicated website to provide bespoke support for designers and architects and consolidate its growing reputation within the specification market.
This sustained success has given Ceramique Internationale added cause for celebration as it prepares to mark its 50th anniversary next year, the company says.
Cameron Fraser, director of Ceramique Internationale, said: “The past few years have certainly presented challenges – the pandemic’s impact on trading and the logistical hurdles resulting from Brexit delivered a serious double whammy.
“But we tackled the challenges head-on, adapting and evolving – as the business has throughout the past half century – in order to not just survive, but thrive.
“Our phenomenal resurgence and sales growth is credit to the strong relationships we have built with our suppliers, clients and showroom customers.
“We will continue to build on this success in the years ahead.”
