James Lumb, managing director of Interpath Advisory, and joint administrator of CTD Tiles, commented: “CTD Tiles is a major player in the industry, but market conditions proved insurmountable as consumer and trade demand failed to recover in line with expectations.
“The transaction with Topps Group provides continuity for a considerable number of staff and stores as part of a major tiles group. We are working with the team to ensure a smooth transition for customers and suppliers.
“Regrettably, the remaining sites have closed, which has resulted in redundancies. We are now focused on supporting those staff and have specialist teams on site working with impacted employees to help make representations to the Redundancy Payments Service where relevant.”
Topps Tiles reportedly paid £9m for the CTD brand, which includes CTD Tiles, CTD Trade and CTD Architectural Tiles. The acquisition deal also includes selected stock and all related intellectual property.
CTD Tiles was previously owned by Aurelius Investments, who acquired the business in 2022.
