My husband Matt and I have been proud members of Australian FloorStyle for the past three years. We started our small flooring business five years ago, and in the beginning, it was incredibly tough. We’re based in Albury/Wodonga, a town where flooring stores are everywhere – and as the underdogs, we struggled to get suppliers to take us seriously. We were constantly being rejected for accounts and stuck with only a small handful of suppliers, which left us with very limited product options. I reached out to some reps to ask if there was a buying group that could help small businesses like ours. That’s when we were introduced to a member of Australian FloorStyle – and they told us joining was the best decision they ever made. Joining really changed everything for us. With the support and network Australian FloorStyle provides, we’ve been able to grow our product range and better service our customers. If we ever have questions about products or installation, other members are always happy to help. Leanne and her team are only ever a phone call away, and their support has been incredible. The yearly conferences are another highlight – they’re always supportive, uplifting, and packed with knowledge and inspiration. We’re genuinely proud to be part of Australian FloorStyle. It’s helped us not just survive in a competitive market but truly thrive.
