Kährs Appoints New Scottish Distributor

Kährs has appointed a new distributor in Scotland.

Woodstocks - a division of wood flooring specialist, G L Floors - will provide a full trade counter, warehouse and showroom facilities from its premises in Newcraighall, Edinburgh.

The new Woodstocks division will be headed up by Graham Kerr, who will deal with stock distributions throughout the whole of Scotland.

Graham commented: "Having dealt with Kährs since our business was established, we're delighted to have been appointed distributor in Scotland.

"Both companies are committed to quality in all respects - from product development to finished installation. By joining forces, we can push standards even higher and champion Kährs brand, and its environmental and performance benefits, within new markets."
