Red Beach Couple Alan & Melissa Maher have more than 40 years expertise in the flooring industry between them.

Alan is a certified Carpet Layer and Salesperson, Melissa has worked in commercial and residential flooring for the last 22 years.

There is not much they don't know about the range of carpets, vinyls and wood flooring they sell and over the years have seen changes in the kind of materials we like to put on the floor.

One thing you will notice in store is the days of green, pastels, bold patterns and bright colours are over, the carpets these days are all shades of Grey, brown and beige.

Melissa and Alan hope that locals will tap into their considerable experience. They have a big focus on establishing The Flooring People as "your local flooring store". "Being locals, we feel strongly about keeping jobs on the coast".

They support local clubs, Red Beach Surf Club, Orewa Surf Club and Hibiscus Coast Boating Club, Hibiscus Dairy Flat Hockey, Manly Park Seniore Tennis Club, North harbour Hockey.
