A North East based interior design, new build cleaning, contract and commercial flooring specialist is poised to expand its services into Yorkshire after receiving a £500K investment from NPIF – FW Capital Debt Finance, which is managed by FW Capital and is part of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund.
Headquartered in a 45,000 sq ft premises in Prudhoe, Inside Contracts specialise in transforming commercial spaces and creating luxury residential projects for a range of UK housebuilders. The business was formed in 2017 and today operates with four divisions focused on contract flooring, commercial flooring, interior design, and commercial cleaning.
