Long Eaton-based More Than Loft Ladders has opened its first High Street premises to raise the profile of the specialist services it offers locally and to provide a base for its UK-wide franchise.
More Than Loft Ladders in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire is now headed up by Kelly Hobbs whilst her husband, entrepreneur Liam Hobbs, is focusing on expanding the franchise network. Both are now based in the High Street, Long Eaton.
Mr Hobbs said: “These are exciting times for More Than Loft Ladders both in this area and across the franchise network.
“Kelly is committed to expanding the business serving Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire and the High Street premises will be a useful shop window for customers to see for themselves the quality of the work that we do and the advantages of opening up loft space both for extra room and storage in people’s homes.
“The location in Long Eaton with easy motorway access will be ideal for our growing franchise network across the UK who we regularly welcome here for training and support sessions.”
Kelly Hobbs continued that loft storage conversions was a growing market with homeowners keen to put wasted space at the top of their homes to good use either for storage or, for example, a hobby space.
“We have built our reputation over the years by offering the full service and, as the name suggests – we are more than a loft ladder company.
“Although this is obviously an important feature, we also install hatches, part or full loft boarding insultation, lighting and smoke alarms to transform dark and forgotten lofts into usable space.
“It also makes financial sense to insulate a loft rather than see money on heating bills literally fly through the roof.
“Furthermore, the volatile mortgage market also means that many people are more likely to expand the living space they have now at an affordable price rather than moving and taking on bigger payments.”
