60 BUILD / February 2017 , Best Luxury Tile Company UK award winning Sabbini & Co. Tile and StoneMerchants are industry leaders in the design, supply and installation of luxury tiles, stone, bespoke furniture and accessories for domestic and commercial properties. We caught up with Damien Dunne to learnmore about the firm. Paving the Way for Success Sabbini & Co. specialise in the design, supply and installation of luxury tiles, natural and man-made stone, bespoke furniture and wooden flooring for domestic and commercial properties. Drawing on over 25 years of experience working for private clients, as well as supply and/or subcontracting for architects, property developers, construction companies and interior designers for a wide range of projects throughout numerous sectors, the firm offers a truly comprehensive service to high-end, affluent patrons throughout the UK and Ireland. Damien discusses the lessons the firm has learned during the quarter of a century it has been operating in the market and how it draws upon these when working with every client. “Over the years we have learnt that every client is different and no project is the same. Therefore, we take a completely fresh approach to each and every job. It may sound cliché, but our philosophy is that the customer always comes first, no matter the size of the project. Although we began as a tile-only supplier, we have constantly adapted and developed to incorporate many other products and services, which has made us the comprehensive company we are today. In this fast paced technological age, it’s very easy to get left behind, so in recent years we have created a completely new and unique digital marketing strategy which we are continually revising and updating in order to stay at the top of our game in today’s ever changing business environment. Coupled with the wide range of products and high quality of service we provide, this is without doubt one of the main factors for our recent growth and success. “In order to ensure that our clients make the right choice, one tip we give them is that they should take their time. We have a team of experienced designers who work closely with buyers to make sure all angles are covered and that they have considered all options available to them. It always makes for a better buying experience and prevents any unnecessary issues further down the line.” What truly sets the firm apart from its competitors, according to Damien, is its complete, ‘all-in- one’ solution. “At Sabbini & Co. all design, supply and installation work is undertaken by our fully in- house team of designers and tradesmen which ensures an efficient and seamless process from start to finish. Our slogan is that we are the ‘The Home of Luxury’, and we only source and supply products that fit in with this principle. We are based in an award-winning showroom in Northern Ireland and have rights to stock exclusive, elegant tiles and other products such as slate, marble, granite, wooden flooring and bespoke furniture for any space or situation. All this has helped establish us as one of the leading interior solutions companies in the UK and Ireland. Coupled with a ‘can-do’ approach and hands-on management style, our highly skilled workforce, well-stocked stores and nationwide coverage ensures quality, efficient work in any circumstance.” Overall the future looks bright for Sabbini & Co. as it seeks to build upon its current success and grow as a business in order to provide its quality products and expertise to a wider clientele, as Damien concludes. “Last year was our most successful year to date, and thankfully we can only see things getting better in 2017. We have secured contracts with several large-scale companies in different commercial sectors throughout Ireland, and we are also in talks with various architectural firms in Dubai, which is looking promising. In addition to this, we are in the early stages of setting up a second sales team in London, so it is quite an exciting time for us. It is all go at the Sabbini HQ right now, but you can be sure we will continue to provide the same first-class service we are renowned for throughout 2017 and beyond.” K Company: Sabbini & Co.
