As a director of Carpet Services, Anthony’s main duties are monitoring the daily performance of the company using over 30 years of trade knowledge. Starting at 12 years of age, Anthony would use any spare time and school holidays to help the family business, labouring on various projects including the Pope’s visit to Cardiff, experiencing different skills and techniques. Once out of full-time education, he had gained enough knowledge in that time to carry out basic floor laying unsupervised and immediately began full time employment. His development led him into management, where he became of director of Carpet Services at 21 years of age having served his floor laying apprenticeship. 

After being raised above our retail shop in Taff's Well and with both parents working full time in developing the business, Sue was always aware of flooring products and joined the company in 1987 - following experiences in insurance underwriting, administration in a platinum refinery in South Africa, and a few years of living outside Wales.

At first, Sue worked within the contract team, administrating government contracts along with construction and commercial projects. She then became responsible training for all staff via Build a Better Business and Investors in People and introducing a company apprenticeship/trainee scheme. The scheme has continued for over 30 years, allowing employees to obtain certification in NVQ level 2 and 3. Sue continues to work with the Construction Industry Training Board to maintain this level of support. 

Sue became Company Secretary and a Director in 1997, whilst running our retail shop in Taff's Well, passing on her experience of carpet and vinyl products and ensuring our customer service was maintained. 

In 2017, she returned to the contract division working on projects for schools, care homes and offices, along with overseeing staff, their welfare, administration and accounts.

Lee has over 33 years experience in the flooring trade. 

In 1990 he started in his family business, working for 15 years as a fitter and learning all aspects of fitting carpet and vinyl in residential and commercial premises. He was then brought into their shop for a further 10 years, helping customers and guiding them on their journey to choosing a product and giving the complete service. 



When his father retired and the family business closed, Lee moved onto the opportunity to work at Carpet Services in 2017. He now manages our retail shop in Taff’s Well. He has all the experience and knowledge to help customers with hard decisions in any choice of flooring; carpet, vinyl, LVT, linoleum, laminate, clic and wood products.

He is the one point of contact, measuring and planning everything from start to finish, and giving competitive prices to beat the bigger stores.
