Always keen to ensure there is as little wastage as possible when installing flooring and trying to find creative ways of utilising any excess stock rather than it going to landfill, Vicky Brown from Gainsborough Flooring spoke to Julia and suggested collating excess stock of Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) including Amtico, Karndean and Polyflor from all the local flooring suppliers including Mears, David Hall Carpets, CFS and the Modern Flooring Company, and using it for their café and foyer. Once Gainsborough had collated the excess flooring and donated any extra that was required, it left the church to raise funds for the installation only. www.lancmag.com
