Yesterday marked a momentous occasion for Armatile as we proudly celebrated the official grand opening of our new showroom in Baldoyle, Dublin. It was a day filled with excitement, gratitude, and the promise of new beginnings. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our friends, family and associates who graced us with their presence, making the day truly unforgettable.
We were honoured to also welcome two distinguished guests of honour: Rory Best OBE, former Irish Rugby Union Captain, and Adrian Henchy, Mayor of Fingal County Council. Their presence added an extra touch of prestige to our celebration, and we are deeply grateful for their support.
A Journey of Growth and Success:
The opening of our new showroom represents a major milestone in our company's history as we celebrate 49 years in business. From our humble beginnings selling carpet tiles from the McCanns family home-place - a small rural cottage in Loughgall, we have grown into the success story we are today. This new showroom location in the Republic of Ireland will allow us to continue to grow and expand our current market share, serving our customers with excellence and innovation.
A significant investment of over £4 million was dedicated to the acquisition and fit-out of our new 15,000 sq ft showroom. This investment underscores our commitment to providing an unparalleled experience for our retail customers and professional industry partners, including interior designers, architects, and contractors.
The new showroom was designed by award-winning interior designer Garry Cohn. Featuring a design library complete with an extensive range of tile samples, our showroom is a true testament to design excellence and innovation. Garry Cohn also did the honour of being the MC at the event, adding his unique flair to the occasion.
As our Chairman and Founder, Seamus McCann, eloquently stated at the event, "Our new facility provides tangible evidence of our long-term confidence in the Irish marketplace."
We are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and believe that our new showroom will take the Armatile name and reputation to new heights.
Acknowledging Contributions:
Seamus took the time to thank his wife, Pat McCann, co-founder of Armatile, for her invaluable contribution to the company's success over the years. Family is at the heart of Armatile, and we consider our employees as much a part of our extended family as we do our founders.
Managing Director, Paul Quinn conveyed his sincere appreciation to all team members stating, "without our amazing workers we would not be where we are today, so, a huge thank you must go to them. Their tireless work allows us to stand here today in this magnificent new building." He also took the time to thank the companies loyal customers and long standing supportive suppliers.
