nationwide network OF restoration specialists - FINALIST SME BUSINESS AWARDS-2024
The Restoration Group (TRG) was established in 2022
when 2 colleagues undertook a review of the flooring and furniture sectors they were employed in and the wastage those sectors generated. They decided that there had to be a better way. Combining the talents of those two people, and linking that talent with more than 60 years of collective experience and underpinning it all with a passionate belief in restoration, recycling and re-use before replacement gave rise to a clear and determined retake of a new brush sweeps clean.
In September of 2023 The Restoration Group (TRG) were the winners of the Bolton Business Awards in ‘The Business of The Year’ category……. We were so elated; so elevated that we had not only been short listed but, incredibly, we had actually won!!
Fast forward to Friday 1st December 2023 which saw team TRG take our Wembley Stadium table seats for the even bigger event; the ‘SME National Business Awards 2023’. We had been shortlisted as finalists in both SME Best New Business & Sustainability awards. Some 900 of the great and good were seated and the atmosphere was incredibly charged.
Unfortunately, we didn’t win in either category and, so, didn’t carry those trophies home however, what we did take away with us was huge mutual respect from our clients, peers and colleagues for just getting there and, an even deeper belief and understanding in just what this team is actually capable of.
1 year on and, as so often happens, history repeats itself and we find TRG once again shortlisted as finalists in both the Regional & National Business of the Year categories. We are; excited, proud and honoured as a team to have got this far this quickly but we won’t stop there, we have more to give and more to do to ensure we keep on ticking the boxes so you don’t have to.
Landfill sites are bursting at the seams and, the 3 biggest issues within these sites; toxins, leachate & greenhouse gases are, inevitably, having huge environmental impacts on society as a whole. The NGO WRAP (Waste and Resource Action Programme) estimates there are some 400,000 tonnes of carpet and 22 million items of furniture estimated at 670,000 tonnes discarded every year and most of it going to landfill. For these reasons TRG’s drive to recycle; upcycle & restore has to remain firmly on our ‘agenda for change’.
Using local tradesmen wherever possible to support both client and customer needs is critical if we are to minimise travel time, respond more quickly to appointment times, improve end to end customer journeys and, reduce carbon emissions however, the investment in local skills has additional benefits such as ensuring local communities are revitalised, whilst local economies can grow and, local wealth can re-circulate.
Growing our sustainable challenge is a guiding principle and this is supported by developing our B2B relationship with ethical companies such as the British Heart Foundation who remain keen to recycle a number of the sofa and furniture items we inspect and cannot restore. This policy step change is critical to supporting local communities and national ideals.
