Tile and bathroom retailer Roccia held its annual supplier showcase event earlier this month, which reportedly saw the highest number of visitors in the event’s history.
The supplier showcase was held at Roccia’s showroom in Preston, and allowed tradespeople the chance to speak with the company’s leaders and suppliers, which includes brands such as Kelmore, RUBI, PCS, Genesis, CT1, Dural, Tile Rite, BAL, Schluter Systems, First Trace and BAL/Ardex.
In addition, visitors could also meet WBC World Champion (and former I’m a Celebrity contestant), Tony Bellew. Said to be a valued client of Roccia’s, Bellew was overseeing a boxing challenge machine at the event.
Roccia also used the event to raise money for local charity Rosemere Cancer Foundation, with event organisers saying that they raised more than £1,140 for the charity from visitors.
Jonathon Stopforth, trade account manager at Roccia said: “It’s fantastic when trade customers as well as suppliers get together for our annual Roccia Trade Event to enjoy networking, learning and freebies. We were delighted to welcome back familiar faces to the event as well as meet some of our newest trade members.
“The day was a great opportunity to celebrate our ever-growing trade community and for industry experts to showcase what’s new; sharing best-practice advice and tips on everything tiles, kitchen and bathroom fitting. Our Roccia trade team were on hand throughout the day to explain more about ways to save time and money when fitting tiles within client’s homes and commercial properties.
“There was a real buzz around the business, and we were glad to welcome more visitors than ever before as the event goes from strength to strength. And thank you to Tony for helping us to make it a great and fun event. His unique blend of sportsmanship and motivational insights left us in awe of what he’s achieved.”
Roccia’s 44,000sq ft flagship Preston store claims to be ‘the largest tile and bathroom showroom in the UK’, and was the subject of a Retailer Profile feature in the February 2022 issue of kbbreview Magazine.
