As we approach the end of 2020, its worth reflecting on the difficult year we have all had and to congratulate ourselves on how we have managed to work through this most difficult time. We all look forward to the impact of the vaccination programmes and hope life can be more ‘normal’ by next summer. 2020 has been a challenging year for everyone, but I’m very proud that our teams at Parkside in the field and in central support functions have continued to show great support and dedication to all of our clients and their projects. I also want to thank our design, specification and construction partners for working with us through this tough period where many jobs and priorities have changed and we all look forward to refreshed investment in 2021. 

Through the next few weeks our offices will be closed from 24th December, reopening on 4th January. We have arranged special cover for 3 days in the holiday period so we can still be contacted on the 29th to the 31st for any urgent or last minute changes by telephone on 0116 276 2532 or email info@parkside.co.uk. Please see the footer of this page for our Design Studio opening hours over the Christmas period and I look forward to opening our new Design Studio in the North West in the new year.

We’re in a strong position to continue supporting our clients with their tile needs after Brexit and have lots to share with you next year, including exciting new designer, anti-bacterial and outdoor products, our first RIBA-approved CPD and further news on more Design Studios in London and the North West. I look forward to industry events returning hopefully at some point in the year, providing valuable networking opportunities and some much welcomed social activities.

I’d like to wish all of our colleagues and clients a safe, happy and peaceful festive period,

Brian Linnington
