Woodpecker Flooring has put its own wood ranges to perfect use in creating an inspirational workspace and showroom at their new headquarters.
Featuring a slide, gym and real wood treehouse, Woodpecker Flooring’s new offices make a day at work feel like no work at all.
Tucked away in Caerphilly’s Pant Glas Industrial Estate, the once empty shell of a warehouse has been transformed into a fantastic workplace, thanks to a £2m investment from the company.
The two-storey space is just 500 yards from Woodpecker’s distribution centre and previous offices. Designed by fit-out company OEG, it’s decorated in the brand’s bright colours and imagery, and features many of Woodpecker’s natural woods on the floors and walls. Goodrich Salted Oak was used in entryway, while Chepstow Planed Washed Oak was selected for walkways upstairs and downstairs and Goodrich Feather Oak in reception. For the showroom Salcombe Moonbeam Oak was chosen.
Huge windows spill natural light into the building while an indoor tree reaches between floors, bringing a sense of the outdoors into this naturally inspired environment.
Customers are able to visit Woodpecker’s very first onsite showroom to get a feel for the natural colours and textures of the flooring range, and take away samples for their home or project.
Chairman Nelson Ker said: “The new Woodpecker offices and showroom combine a truly wonderful experience for both our great team who live, breathe and sleep the Woodpecker brand, and our customers who can come and experience the Woodpecker atmosphere.
“Staff and visitors can be surrounded by the product in use, in a naturally inspired environment where they’re able to touch and feel the woods, receive training and develop an understanding of not only the floor but where it’s come from. It has taken us almost two years to achieve but we now have a workplace which reflects every aspect of our values and enables us to truly live the Woodpecker dream.’
