Solus, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of commercial floor and wall tiles, is delighted to announce its partnership with Building Brum, the city’s largest built environment networking platform.

The Birmingham-based family business, which celebrates its 25^th year of trading in December, is a stalwart of the industry, providing high-quality, on-trend products to architects and designers.

It has gone from strength to strength since its launch in 1995, supporting the city’s economy through the employment of 67 local people, with an additional 23 members of staff nationally, and helping to raise the area’s profile in the specification industry.

Solus offers an impressive selection of more than 1,000 porcelain, ceramic, glass, metal and natural stone ranges and has recently extended its vast portfolio to include organic flooring, luxury vinyl tiles and engineered hardwood flooring.

As part of the company’s collaboration with the exclusive cross-institute organisation, whose members include CIAT, RIBA, RICS, ICE, RTPI, BIID, SBID, Landscape Institute, CIOB and NFT, local Area Sales Manager Lee Simmonds will be hosting industry specific talks during the Building Brum 2020 series.

Lee, who has gained a wealth of knowledge and experience during his 14 years at Solus, said: “Never has it been more crucial for architects and designers to connect with key suppliers of high-quality products, with billions of pounds of investment flooding in to develop Birmingham thanks to the ‘Big City Masterplan’.

“The city and its neighbouring towns have been going through a process of transformation for the past 10 years and will continue to be improved over the next decade, with the redevelopment of New Street Station and the new Library of Birmingham already having been completed, and a £1billion project planned for the area surrounding the iconic Custard Factory in Digbeth.

“This is a really exhilarating time to be living and working in the second city and I am looking forward to collaborating with Building Brum as it enters an exciting new era. Solus is a Birmingham company at its heart and we feel a sense of privilege and honour to be able to play a part in the city’s continued metamorphosis, helping to future-proof the area for generations to come.”
