A big Tapi WELCOME!

We’re Tapi, a flooring retailer with a difference, and we’re here to change the world (well… the flooring world at least). We’ve started a revolution and it’s contagious. In 6 years we’ve opened over 160 stores and with a flock of mobile showrooms buzzing around the country, we’re serving our customers like they’ve never been served before. We’ve rapidly built our position as number 2 in scale, and number 1 in service in the UK since we were born. And we aren’t stopping there...

Our (not-so-secret) secret to our success is our people. We aren’t just a company, we are one big Tapi family: where everyone matters. We work as a team, try to do the right thing, and are always on the lookout for ways to be better.
