A FLOORCOVERING firm is celebrating one of its most prestigious dome-estic deals!

Gaskell Textiles secured a contract to supply 6,000 square metres of carpet tiles for the Skyscape building in the Millennium Dome.

The contract, the largest single flooring installation at the Dome, was secured by salesman Danny Besley within weeks of joining the Accrington firm.

Hertfordshire-based contractors the Carpet Factory placed the order with Gaskell for the specially produced Merino Carpet tiles. The tiles were delivered seven days after the order was placed.
