Oldham Sixth Form College arrayed with new carpet

Details: Hits: 3268

Students and staff at Oldham Sixth Form College will reap the benefits of Array carpet tiles from Heckmondwike’s Creative Range in its Student Support Hub.

750m2 of Array carpet tiles in Purple were chosen, due to their aesthetics and durability.

Jeremy Broadhead, Commercial Manager at Heckmondwike, explains: “Array was a great choice by Oldham Sixth Form College. It’s a really hardwearing carpet that is suitable for heavy traffic areas and will retain its attractive appearance for many years to come.”

David Crossland, Facilities Manager at Oldham College, said: “We were looking for an affordable tile, with a ‘designer feel,’ that had good aesthetics but would also be very hardwearing. We chose black as a robust, neutral shade and are really pleased with the result!”
