Our History
Birth of the business
Steve Turner and Justine Seaton started the business early in 2008.
They each worked long hours to build our customer base and lay the rock-solid foundations of the business we see today.
Winsford Branch
To cope with the rapid growth, the business moved into its first warehouse at Oasis Business Park, Winsford. We believed it would be sufficient for several years to come…
Winsford Branch (Phase 2)
However, we began to gain real momentum and moved through the gears after outgrowing the Oasis Business Park Unit. We moved to a much larger unit, just a stone’s throw away at Unit 2a Pineapple Park, which we still occupy today.
Saint Interiors
In addition to our burgeoning range of floorings, in July 2013 we began to offer the dressing of show homes. With Lucy Turner at the creative helm, Saint Interiors swiftly gained a reputation for quality show home installations.
Saint Flooring (South) Limited
One of Saint Winsford’s most important clients opens new developments across Peterborough and Cambridge. In March 2013, Saint Flooring’s Southern operation was conceived, located at 24 Eldon Way, Biggleswade, Bedfordshire.
Winsford Branch (Phase 3)
The business continued to blossom so we had to take on a further unit in Winsford to accommodate the growth. Unit 17, Road One Winsford became a satellite branch to Unit 2 Pineapple Park.
Redditch Branch
The move to Pineapple Park was swiftly followed by further expansion with our 2nd branch, located at the iO Centre Industrial Park in Redditch to increase our geographical coverage and aid further expansion.
Nottingham Branch
With the procurement of new clients and regions, Saint Flooring expanded further into the Midlands by opening another branch at Unit 7 Rani Drive.
Saint Flooring (South) Expansion
As a consequence of the success of the Southern operation, and with the support of the largest and most prestigious 4 and 5 star developers in the UK, the Southern region quickly outgrew the premises. In August 2018, we moved into a 13,000 ft2 unit in St Neots which we still occupy today.
Winsford Branch (Phase 4)
It was decided that in order to improve efficiency and communication, we would no longer be split over 2 branches 50 yards apart in Winsford and embarked on the single biggest project and investment in the history of Saint Flooring. We installed a full-length mezzanine floor to accommodate the Directors, Finance and Interiors teams, and incorporated a brand new boardroom with tele-conferencing facilities.
Recycling Project
The flooring sector is often seen as a “dirty” industry, with over 400,000 tonnes of waste carpet arising each year in the UK. Saint Flooring wanted to focus on how we deal with our waste with a view to divert from landfill as much as possible. Balers were installed at Winsford/St Neots/Nottingham to separate and bale waste ready for responsible recycling.
National Vinyl Centre Redditch
Due to national growth, we relocated our vinyl distribution centre into our new Redditch branch which now services all Saint regions with their vinyl requirements.
Winsford Branch (Phase 5)
To further accommodate the substantial growth, we took over the adjoining premisses at Pineapple Park to create a multi-functional flexible warehousing space.
Saint Interiors Manufacturing Unit
In January 2020, to improve services and lead times to our customers. we began manufacture of our soft furnishings in house.
Saint Interiors Expansion
Due to continued growth within our interiors department we invested in a new stand alone unit, improving warehouse and manufacture facilities.
Yorkshire Branch
Due to demand from our existing clients, we sourced a unit in the very heart of the white rose county at Wakefield to enable us to fully service their Yorkshire regions.
Today
Today, Saint Group operates across six national offices with specialist teams covering the breadth and depth of the UK, servicing UK housebuilders and working with some of the UK’s leading suppliers.
