Minoli Oxford Team explore the new London Home
Minoli, the award-winning tile distributor, has marked the opening of their new London facility with two launch events for key clients, retail partners and suppliers.
On the evening of Thursday 12th September, some 150 guests gathered for a champagne reception and the opportunity to explore the company’s stunning, new, state-of-the-art showroom and resource centre, called The Surface Within, located in the heart of the ‘Baker Street Quarter’.
This was followed by an informal afternoon open-house on Sunday 15th September, where a further 50 guests enjoyed a more leisurely tour of the facilities and the products on display.
The catering for both events was provided by Home House head chef, Jeremy Brown, including canapés, exquisitely prepared on site for the evening event, and tantalising tea-time fare for Sunday’s session.
On the ground floor, the premises comprise The Gallery, with large format displays and room settings, and the thoughtfully designed Presentation Suite where, by appointment, clients and their guests can hold meetings in this perfectly equipped environment.
On the lower-ground floor, The Studio offers a creative space with a substantial line-up of samples arranged around a purpose-built work station, providing the perfect place to create schemes and fine tune selections.
Last but not least, The Retreat provides a secluded haven from the hustle and bustle of the streets above, with low-level lighting and seating, a wall mounted flat-screen TV, desk-space with WiFi and a great cup of coffee.
Managing Director, Jonathon Minoli commented, “We’re delighted that so many of our closest clients, retail partners and suppliers were able to join us over the two events and that the launch of this new ‘resource centre’ has been so positively received.
“We’ve always recognised the importance of servicing the vibrant and expanding market that the capital provides and with the opening of our new premises in the heart of the West End, we can now provide an even more valuable range of services to our Clients working in and around the Capital.
“In designing the space, we’ve thought carefully about our clients’ needs with a specific focus on providing an excellent Minoli customer experience, whatever their reason for visiting. Of course, as the Minoli Team’s London home, there will always be an expert on hand to offer advice and help you find the perfect products for your next project.”
The Surface Within is located at 71-73 George Street, London W1U 8AQ. George Street runs north of and parallel to Oxford Street and is ideally located for ease of access from Mayfair, Marylebone and Marble Arch.
