NORTH AMERICAN
DEALER OF THE YEAR 2008
WASHINGTON,
DC— Mohawk Industries has named
Taylor Flooring,
Halifax, Nova Scotia,
as the 2008 Mohawk ColorCenter® North American Dealer of the
Year.
Robert
Taylor, Owner, and
John Wells, General Manager, accepted the award, which
was presented at the Mohawk ColorCenter Convention on February 7.
Taylor
Flooring was among nine regional winners for the Dealer of the Year
Award, which recognizes exceptional work within a group comprised of the
best floor covering minds in North America.
The ColorCenter
Dealer of the Year Award is based on a number of criteria,
including a percentage increase over previous year’s business,
excellence in promoting the store concept, ongoing commitment to
training, store standards, brand building, merchandising and
installation ideas and community involvement.
“Taylor Flooring represents the
professionalism, quality, and service that we set out to help dealers
create through the Mohawk ColorCenter system,” said Manny Llerena, Vice
President of Retail Marketing
for Mohawk. “For years,
they have set an example for others to follow, and their ideas have
helped us make the ColorCenter program better.
We are absolutely delighted to recognize
Robert
Taylor
and his exceptional staff with the Mohawk ColorCenter North American
Dealer of the Year award.”
“It is a thrill
to win this award,” said Taylor.
“We believe in the ColorCenter program and it has helped our
success. Mohawk approaches
everything professionally from A to Z, and when we decided to align with
a manufacturer, Mohawk by far had the best program.”
“The Mohawk
ColorCenter system supports everything we try to do as a company,” said John Wells.
“We work around four core values:
quality, service, commitment, and relationships.
Mohawk ColorCenter helps us enhance each of these pillars of our
business.”
A veteran of the
distribution business, Taylor
decided to open a retail flooring store in 1993.
Since then, Taylor Flooring has grown to four
stores. The company became
a ColorCenter dealer in 2002.
Two of its stores are Mohawk ColorCenter Elite showrooms; two are
Mohawk ColorCenter Select. Taylor Floor has strong market
share in both residential and commercial markets in the Atlantic Canada
area.
Taylor
Flooring has been singled out by a variety of groups for its exceptional
service and solid business practices.
The company was a finalist for Business of the Year in Atlantic
Canada, and was named Subcontractor of the Year by local builders.
Taylor Flooring also actively
promotes green products and practices, and contributes to a variety of
charities and community programs, including Habitat for Humanity, IWK
Children’s Hospital, the
United Way, and others.
