Likewise Group announces positive Q1 results

May 6, 2025

Likewise Group, one of the UK’s largest flooring distributors, has announced a “particularly positive” start to the year with gross sales revenue in Q1 2025 increasing by 10.7% against the corresponding period last year. Sales in the Likewise Branded businesses have increased by 14.6%.

The sales progression has reportedly continued from the strong growth last Autumn where group sales revenue in Q4 2024 increased by 10.2% against the previous year.

According to the company, this growth is the result of strategic decisions and investment the group has made over recent years to establish a “comprehensive logistics infrastructure to support its extensive sales and marketing activities,” which will continue throughout 2025.

There are many initiatives through both Likewise and Valley to meaningfully accelerate the group’s presence and subsequently continue to gain market share over the coming months, the company says, particularly through increased point of sale displays and new product initiatives.

The recently purchased freehold logistics facility in Plymouth will be operational as anticipated at the beginning of May. Additional cutting capacity will be created during April within the Glasgow Distribution Hub in order to facilitate increasing volumes for the Likewise Network throughout 2025. Planning permission to extend the freehold site in Newport South Wales is progressing and when the construction is completed will materially increase the group’s processing and cutting capacity from early 2026.

The start of 2025 has provided a solid platform for the group to achieve its corporate objectives for the year ahead.

Whilst January and February are traditionally lower trading months, the company says, March and the forthcoming months will likely benefit from the operational gearing effect which was also successfully delivered in H2 2024. This is projected to take the group to a higher level of profitability, as reflected in current market forecasts for 2025.

Tony Brewer, Chief Executive of Likewise, said: “Following a particularly positive Autumn 2024, it is really encouraging that Q1 2025 has continued at pace. This gives the Board every confidence in achieving this year’s objectives and more importantly significant further progress towards our medium term aspirations. We very much appreciate the contribution from all employees and the support of suppliers, customers and all stakeholders as we continue this exciting journey.”

Contemporary Classics is a phrase that might seem contradictory at first, yet it perfectly encapsulates the appeal of timeless flooring designs reimagined for today’s interiors.

In this article, independent flooring consultant Richard Renouf explains how a customer’s rights and obligations change depending on the method of payment. So far in this series of articles we’ve looked at the things we need to consider when we sell to customers in a shop, and I’ve promised to look at online and off-premises sales in a future article. Before I do this, however, there’s an important matter we must consider. How did the customer pay? Credit card and store card payments and finance agreements (including interest-free credit) give the customer the right to claim against the finance provider instead of, or in addition to, the retailer; and other card or bank transactions may also give the customer the ability to ask for help from their bank. The Consumer Credit Act 1974 (CCA) was introduced to clarify the legal responsibilities of the parties involved in a credit sale. Usually there is the customer, the retailer and the finance provider and the transaction is actually circular: The consumer offers to buy the goods and enters an agreement to pay the finance provider, the retailer supplies the goods to the consumer but obtains payment from the finance provider (usually with the provider taking a commission or percentage), the finance provider pays the retailer and then recoups the purchase price and any agreed interest from the consumer. The advantage to the consumer is that they can spread the cost and have the goods immediately. The advantage to the retailer is that they get prompt payment from the finance provider, and, of course, the finance provider also makes a profit from the sale. The CCA makes clear that even though the consumer is actually purchasing from the finance provider, both the retailer and the finance provider have legal obligations under the contract even though the provider may never actually see the consumer or the goods. These obligations continue even if one of them goes out of business. If the consumer has a valid complaint, the CCA allows the consumer to claim against the finance provider as long as the purchase was more than £100 and less than £30,000, and it allows the consumer to claim the whole cost of the sale even if they only paid a small part of this on their credit card. The legal requirements are set out in Section 75 of the CCA and so a claim made under this legislation is often referred to as a ‘Section 75 Claim’. Before such a claim could be made in court the consumer must have contacted the finance provider to give them an opportunity to resolve the complaint, and the finance provider will have a procedure to investigate the complaint by contacting the retailer for information and possibly by asking the consumer to get an independent expert’s report where there is disagreement. If this does not get the complaint resolved, the consumer can raise a Section 75 Claim in the county court against the finance provider, or both the finance provider and the retailer. A chargeback may be part of the Section 75 process, but it can also by done by any bank or finance provider if their customer raises a query about a payment they have made. The bank can withhold payment to the retailer – or even take it back from their account – until the matter is investigated and the finance provider is satisfied that it should be repaid to one of the parties. The terms of the Mastercard, Visa, Amex and merchant processors allow for this to be done without asking the retailer first. Usually the retailer is told when it has been done and is then given a limited time to explain their side of things, and if this is not done on time or to the finance provider’s satisfaction the money will be returned to the consumer. Prompt attention to any chargeback can be successful when the complaint is not valid, but a poor response or failure to respond on time would make it very difficult to challenge and reverse the chargeback through the finance provider. Chargebacks can be made even when a customer has not made a complaint to the retailer, and so the retailer is unaware of any issues. I have never known a retailer succeed in suing a finance company over a chargeback they did not agree with, but, I have known cases where finance providers have rejected consumer complaints and the consumer has then proceeded to make a successful Section 75 Claim though the County Court which then, of course, results in a chargeback to the retailer. An unhappy consumer could also make a complaint to the Financial Ombudsman and as this is costly for the finance company this is something they try to avoid and may result in them doing a chargeback because it is the cheapest option. Citizen’s Advice (citizensadvice.org.uk) and Money Saving Expert (moneysavingexpert.com) have excellent guidance on their websites. www.richard-renouf.com

Given customers’ high expectations for luxury vinyl tile (LVT) installations, it is worth taking the time to ensure optimum results when installing them. Certain adhesives can help with this, including achieving precise alignment. Tim Green, Head of Training at the F. Ball Centre of Excellence, provides a guide to adhesive selection, including formulations with a range of additional features. Pressure sensitive adhesives are ideal for the installation of LVTs because they form an instant grab upon contact, so, once positioned, tiles or planks won’t move about as contractors work. They also offer an extended open time, reducing the risk of late placement and making them ideal for installations where more complex designs or patterns are being created. Some pressure sensitive adhesives are also formulated to reduce the incidence of trowel serrations showing through thin vinyl floor coverings, referred to as “grin through”, affecting the appearance of the finished installation. Temperature tolerant requirements There are specific applications where additional performance characteristics will be important to maintain the long-term aesthetic appearance of an installation. For example, when installing floor coverings in areas subject to extreme temperatures and temperature fluctuations, it is recommended to use a temperature tolerant adhesive. High temperatures or extreme temperature fluctuations can cause floor coverings to expand and contract significantly, which may lead to unsightly tenting in floor coverings and gapping at the edges of LVTs over time. This can be the case in conservatories or rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, which are subject to “solar gain”, such as extensions with bi-fold doors. Temperature tolerant adhesives develop the high bond strength required to hold floor coverings securely in place in such environments, ensuring a long-lasting flooring finish. However, temperature tolerant adhesives have traditionally been “wet-lay”, and contractors requiring this type of adhesive have had to forgo pressure sensitive benefits. Hybrid solutions Advancements in hybrid polymer adhesives have enabled the development of high-performance vinyl adhesives with revolutionary combinations of properties, including combined pressure sensitive and temperature tolerant characteristics. For example, F. Ball’s Styccobond F49 Hybrid PS is a water-based, pressure sensitive vinyl adhesive that develops the extremely high bond strength and dimensional stability required to hold vinyl floor coverings firmly in place in areas exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations (from -20°C to +60°C). Whilst providing high initial tack, the adhesive allows contractors to lift and reposition floor coverings in the initial stages of drying, making it a great choice for installing tiles and planks, intricate patterns and bespoke designs that need precise alignment. Styccobond F49 is also resistant to moisture, meaning it is suitable for use in areas subject to water and high humidity, including kitchens and bathrooms. Checking floorcovering compatibility As well as selecting adhesives suited to the requirements of a particular project, it is always advisable to check the compatibility of particular floor coverings and adhesives. For these purposes, F. Ball produces its industry-leading Recommended Adhesives Guide (RAG). It’s available on the F. Ball website and as a free app, as well as a printed booklet. So confident is F. Ball in the recommendations featured in the guide that it guarantees the resulting bond performance for the entire lifetime of the flooring installation, as long as the advised subfloor preparation and installation procedures are followed. Alternatively, F. Ball’s technical service department are on hand Monday to Friday, 8.30am – 5.00pm, to answer your questions about F. Ball products and how to use them via phone and email. The F. Ball Centre of Excellence training and demonstration facility at F. Ball’s Staffordshire headquarters hosts training courses on achieving optimum results when installing LVTs that are free to attend for both flooring contractors and retailers. You can find details of upcoming courses and book a place for yourself or colleagues on the F. Ball website. F Ball & Co • www.f-ball.com

Top quality flooring deserves proper subfloor preparation: not only for the aesthetics of an installation but for its longevity too! Several things can go wrong at the subfloor stage, from an uneven surface to excessive moisture, and any of these issues can be disastrous for the final installation.

GfK’s long-running Consumer Confidence Index increased by two points to -18 in June. Two measures were up and three measures were unchanged in comparison to last month’s announcement. These are the current findings of the GfK Consumer Confidence Barometer (CCB) powered by NIM. The CCB has been published jointly by GfK and the Nuremberg Institute for Market Decisions (NIM), the founder of GfK, since October 2023. Analysing these new findings, Neil Bellamy, Consumer Insights Director at GfK, said: “Headline consumer confidence has improved marginally in June, rising two points to -18. This is driven by improvements in how consumers see the general economy, with scores up three points (looking at last year) and up by five points (looking at the next 12 months).  “Consumers have been resolute in their views on their wallets with June’s personal financial situation scores (past and future) unchanged from May. Yet confidence is still fragile because the dark shadow of inflation is a day-to-day challenge for so many of us. With petrol prices set to rise in the coming weeks following the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, and with ongoing uncertainty as to the full impact of tariffs, there is still much that could negatively impact consumers. With so much volatility, now is certainly not the time to hope for the proverbial ‘light at the end of the tunnel’.”

Victoria PLC, one of the UK’s largest flooring manufacturers, has announced it has reached agreement on a new £130m super senior facility. This new facility will replace the company’s existing super senior revolving credit facility (RCF) due in February 2026, representing “a significant step” forward in the company’s plan to strengthen its financial position and address its near-term debt maturities. The new £130m facility combines both term loan and revolving credit elements and offers considerably enhanced flexibility compared to the existing RCF. The new facility has no maintenance covenants or drawing restrictions, and the entire facility will therefore be available to the company upon satisfying certain funding conditions and completion of long-form documentation. The board is said to be very pleased with the pricing, duration, and operational flexibility the new facility offers as it ensures Victoria is “well-positioned to meet its future operational and financial objectives”. The company expects to provide further updates shortly.

Wilsons Furnishers, the parent company of both Wilsons Carpets and Online Carpets, saw its profits rise to more than £2.4m in 2024, compared with a figure of £1.2m over the previous period. In its filings, the company’s directors said they were pleased to report the business performed “satisfactorily” during the year, and that it would continue to make investments into the business and people. According to these same filings, Wilsons Furnishers’ trading throughout 2024/2025 has thus far been in line with expectations, however it does point out increased operational and staff employment costs (owing to “increased UK government tax policies, international geo-political tensions and foreign exchange fluctuations”) as principal risks for the ongoing period.

UK floorcoverings distributor Likewise Group held its annual general meeting (AGM) recently and the company is reportedly pleased to announce a continuation of the “very positive” sales trajectory reported earlier in the year as it approaches the end of H1 25. At the meeting, Tony Brewer, chief executive of Likewise, provided the following update to shareholders. Total gross sales revenue to 26 June 2025 has increased by 10.0% against the corresponding period last year, with absolute like for like being slightly stronger due to one less working day this year. The group with its two principal businesses, Likewise Floors and Valley Wholesale Carpets, continues to expand presence in flooring retailers and contractors through ever increasing point of sale displays, undoubtedly gaining market share despite what remains a subdued trading environment. Likewise will release its interim results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 on 9 September 2025.  Tony Brewer, chief executive of Likewise Group plc, said: “It is really encouraging to see the investments made in the last four years really starting to deliver meaningful improvements in sales and subsequent profitability. The group continues to make significant progress towards our medium-term objectives of sales revenue well in excess of £200 million. “We have great teams of people in our various businesses and thank all our employees for their contributions as we look forward to an exciting future. Furthermore, we very much appreciate the continued support of suppliers, customers, shareholders and all stakeholders.”

Carpet imports into the UK declined in April, however consistent growth for vinyl meant the overall flooring category remained nearly level, according to HMRC data compiled by The Furnishing Report.  The data shows flooring imports down just 1% to £127.9m across carpet, wood, vinyl and linoleum, however carpet and rug imports specifically fell by 4.5%, down to £74.5m. The drop can largely be attributed to a 38% decline in goods arriving from Belgium, with Turkey’s carpet imports increasing 11% up to £18.6m, making it the largest single source of textile floorcoverings brought into the country. Vinyl imports saw an 8.1% rise to £37.9m, reportedly marking the eleventh straight increase on a year-on-year basis – largely driven by a continued recovery of shipments from China compared to a weaker 2024.

GfK’s long-running Consumer Confidence Index increased by three points to -20 in May. All measures were up in comparison to last month’s announcement. Neil Bellamy, Consumer Insights Director at GfK, an NIQ Company, says: “There’s an improvement across all five key indicators in May, led by two forward-looking findings. The measure for personal finances looking ahead for the next 12 months has moved out of negative territory, increasing by five points to + 2. There’s a similar improvement in how consumers see the coming year’s general economy, with a four-point boost to -33. “It’s also worth noting the three-point rise in the measure on major purchases for big-ticket items such as furniture or electrical goods, with May’s score of -16 marking the highest level seen since the end of 2024. Have consumers taken comfort from the Bank of England’s May 8th quarter-point base-rate cut? And have they breathed a tiny sigh of relief since April when the sudden turbulence of the Trump Tariffs was prompting dire warnings of economic damage and a return to inflation? Those dangers – especially the issue of inflation – have not disappeared but the consumer mood in the UK does appear to have improved a little.” General economic situation The measure for the general economic situation of the country during the last 12 months is up one point to -46; this is seven points worse than in May 2024. Expectations for the general economic situation over the next 12 months have gone up by four points to -33; this is 16 points worse than May 2024. These are the current findings of the GfK Consumer Confidence Barometer (CCB) powered by NIM. The CCB has been published jointly by GfK and the Nuremberg Institute for Market Decisions (NIM), the founder of GfK, since October 2023.

This year’s Kidderminster Carpet Manufacturer’s charity golf day raised £20,000, according to organiser Mike Dobson. “This is an increase of some 16% on last year’s result,” he said, “so will allow us to make larger contributions to the benefitting charities, which are MacMillan and a number of organisations local to the Kidderminster area.” Instarmac were winners of the Tuesday tournament, while the event on day two was won by Altro. Next year’s event has been moved slightly to avoid a clash with Clerkenwell Design Week. It will take place on 2nd & 3rd June, again at the Kidderminster Golf Club, thus opening up the tournament to more potential entrants. Entry forms will start to be circulated at the start of 2026. Mike concluded: “Thank you from the committee for the immense support that you gave us this year, and we look forward to working closely with you again in the coming months to, hopefully, make the 2026 event even more successful!”  To register your interest in playing or sponsoring next year’s event please email Mike Dobson at: mnjdobson@yahoo.com
