Matthew entered the world of flooring after leaving school in 1988, aged 16. Having helped out his father, a floorlayer, on weekends, he knew flooring was the career for him.
Having spent 2 years as a YTS apprentice, Matthew went on to work with his father for various companies all over the UK in subfloor preparation and the application of soft floor finishes, such as sheet vinyl flooring, carpet, and carpet tiles to name a few.
This was until 1997, when there became an opportunity for Matthew to become a General Manager for Yorkshire Flooring in Hull. Matthew stayed there for 4 years before being approached to set up a new flooring company, called Fullmarsh Flooring.
Matthew was employed there until 2006 before going back to being self-employed in 2011, after he saw an opportunity to grow his own company working within the retail and care home sector. Matthew did this until September 2022, before joining the ARDEX team. Within this time, he gained his NVQ Level 2 and the CSCS card for safe site working.
Favourite ARDEX Group Product:

It can also be used as a patch repair for internal and external areas up to a depth of 50mm making it a must-have on any van regardless of the project.
- BAL Waterproof 1C – Great product and easy to apply – whether you are a seasoned tiler or someone who likes a bathroom home improvement challenge. It is ready mixed, so it can be applied straight out of the tub. Also, due to its one-component formula, there is no additional mixing or waste, making it an ideal money-saving waterproof tanking kit every bathroom installer should have in their van.
