About us
DMS Flooring
Independent, effective and friendly
DMS Flooring
Independent, effective and friendly
In 2000 we were looking to expand our business and noticed there was a gap in the market where we could offer improved customer service and form closer relationships with the trade.
We created a wholesale business centrally located in Northampton and the first DMS Branch was born! Since the millennium we have expanded to four branches in the Midlands and South East however, we maintain our independent business ideals meaning we are large enough to source and hold stock of the best brands and products while we maintain our fast, effective and friendly service.
We offer next day delivery across the UK and our aim is to be the UK’s leading independent flooring supplier. We’re passionate about what we do and we use the latest technology to remain efficient and ahead of the game.
Come and experience DMS at your nearest trade counter, online, or please give us a call.
