THE TAK STORY
|
TAK Flooring started in April 2013 with the goal of providing firstly Dunedin and then Otago, with a quality, non-fuss commercial flooring service. After working for years in the flooring industry Greg Tomlinson, Mark Adamson and John Ketchen believed that by reducing overheads, increasing sustainability, improving service and offering alternate solutions, a small locally owned independent company could provide a higher quality service at a lower cost to the consumer. To that end we feel that the testimony of our clients and the fact that our business grows by referrals rather than clever marketing strategies is evidence of its success….after all, here you are checking us out!
Due to the constant requests from our commercial clients, as of April 2015 TAK Flooring will also provide a quality domestic flooring service. With access to a wide variety of industry leading suppliers we have the products and the installation team to make your renovation or new home a flooring success.
