International Women's Day is a reminder of the importance of gender equality in the workplace. This year’s theme is Accelerate Action and Topps Group will continue to support and uplift each other, striving for a world where everyone has equal opportunities. Today, we honour the incredible women breaking barriers and making strides in traditionally male-dominated fields. Through our partnership with Leeds College of Building and South & City College Birmingham we are proud to be supporting the next generation of skilled tilers, with apprentice Holly Taylor-Whitehead taking 1st place in the Wall & Floor Tiling category at SkillBuild 2024. As the only female Wall & Floor tiling apprentice, Holly is an inspiration to all women who are considering a career in construction. A huge well done, Holly! On this International Women's Day, let's celebrate all the women who are paving the way for future generations. #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInConstruction #Accelerateaction #TilingApprentice

It was wonderful to tour the workshop, meet some of the apprentices, and see our tiles in action! The enthusiasm and dedication of both the college and the apprentices was great to see and we can’t wait to hear more about how they get on! #nationalapprenticeshipweek

Today we announced our trading results for the first quarter of our new financial year, with Group sales up 4.6%, and the decision by our Chief Executive to retire from Topps Group after 18 years with the business. In the announcement, Rob Parker said the Group strategy was delivering strong results – especially in the key areas of focus of trade and digital. Topps Tiles trade sales were up 13.5% year-on-year, Pro Tiler grew by 20% and also completed the relocation to a new 140,000sq ft warehouse, and online-only Tile Warehouse sales were up 140% for the first quarter. He said: “While it is still early in the financial year, we are pleased to see the Group return to sales growth in the first quarter; our strategy is delivering and we are well-positioned to achieve our Mission 365 goal over the medium term.” He added: “Following 18 very happy years with the business I have decided to step away from a full-time executive role and have informed the Board that I intend to retire from the end of 2025; this will therefore be my last year with the Group. The Board has activated its succession plan and commenced a search process for a new Chief Executive Officer. I remain fully committed to the business for the whole of 2025.” The full results are available at www.toppsgroup.com

We were delighted to welcome our charity partners Alzheimer's Society to our start of year conferences, and reveal to colleagues that our fundraising total currently stands at £500,000! Topps Group has tasked ourselves with raising £1million for Alzheimer’s Society over five years to provide help and hope for people affected by dementia, and we are thrilled to be at the halfway point with more than two years still to go! Funds are raised through the Pennies digital charity box scheme in our Topps Tiles retail stores, along with a wealth of fundraising events and activities organised by colleagues.

Today we have announced our Q4 trading update. You can read the full statement at www.toppsgroup.com. Sales across the Group for the year are approximately £248 million. This is around 6% lower than last year’s record turnover, but broadly in line with our sales from two years ago. With the UK market down 10-15% year-on year, we are confident this outperforms the wider market, and we will continue to move closer towards delivering our Mission 365 goal. We would like to thank all colleagues across our Group brands and look forward to a successful year for Topps Tiles, Parkside, Pro Tiler, Tile Warehouse and CTD.

As we enter into the final week of our Olympic Charity Campaign for Alzheimer's Society’s Society, we would like to say a huge thank you to all our amazing colleagues who have embraced the campaign with such passion! We have seen colleagues run a half-marathon, cycle for 7.5 hours between stores, cycle the distance between our Lincoln store and Paris, play lots of games, and eat/sell tasty food, along with a Great British Fete theme over at our Support Office. Our fantastic colleagues have raised a whopping £11,088 with one week to go! #charity #Alzheimers
