At Risk of Administration CTD Tiles Now Seeks Buyer - From TTA

According to Sky News, CTD Tiles is on the brink of administration and reportedly filed a notice of intention to appoint administrators on Monday 5th August. This provides ten days of security to find a buyer before CTD Tiles officially heads into administration.

The company was acquired by former Body Shop owner Aurelius in 2022 and now trades from 87 stores and employs about 400 people, sadly whose jobs are potentially at risk.

I have heard from multiple trusted sources they owe Mapei in excess of £1 million alone! The numbers quoted to me far exceed £2 million.

The only real contender to buy CTD is Headlam Group as I believe they were interested around the time Aurelius bought CTD. However, Headlam group is reporting a big downturn in 2024 so do they really need the burden of a failing tile brand?
Purchasing the web domain makes sense as it drastically reduced the overheads.

We shall find out within the next few days I guess.

Dude find out if you can get the domain and I'll run a shop on it for you and we can split the profit 😉 😉
