Tile franchise, Beaumont Tiles, has reported the 2009/10 financial year as its best on record, with an overall 9.8 per cent growth in sales compared to the previous year.

The company is currently focusing on growing through acquisition of new showrooms and by increasing the number of franchised outlets.

According to franchise manager, Trevor Dixon, Beaumont Tiles prides itself on being different and not your average, corporate, franchised business.

Employing approximately 800 staff, including through franchise stores, each staff member has input to the way the business is run and every single branch is a profit centre; highlighting that Beaumont Tiles’ success is based on a team effort, he said.

A franchise owner has the option to own and manage their branch as a ‘hands on’ business or to run it at arm’s length, as an investment.

Today, Beaumont Tiles have over 75 stores in South Australia, Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales, with half being company owned and managed, and half franchised.
