Firm hopes to raise the roof with high street presence

More Than Loft Ladders is aiming to raise its profile with the opening of its first ever high street premises.

The firm is opening in High Street, Long Eaton, which will showcase its specialist services while also providing a base for its UK-wide franchise.

More Than Loft Ladders in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire is now headed up by Kelly Hobbs, while her husband, entrepreneur Liam Hobbs, is focusing on expanding the franchise network.

Both will be based at the Long Eaton premises, which are due to officially open tomorrow.

Liam said: “These are exciting times for More Than Loft Ladders both in this area and across the franchise network.

“Kelly is committed to expanding the business serving Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire and the High Street premises will be a useful shop window for customers to see for themselves the quality of the work that we do and the advantages of opening up loft space both for extra room and storage in people’s homes.

“The location in Long Eaton with easy motorway access will be ideal for our growing franchise network across the UK who we regularly welcome here for training and support sessions.”

According to Kelly, loft storage conversions is a growing market with homeowners keen to put wasted space at the top of their homes to good use.

She said: “It also makes financial sense to insulate a loft rather than see money on heating bills literally fly through the roof.

“Furthermore, the volatile mortgage market also means that many people are more likely to expand the living space they have now at an affordable price rather than moving and taking on bigger payments.

“We have built our reputation over the years by offering the full service and, as the name suggests – we are more than a loft ladder company.

“Although this is obviously an important feature, we also install hatches, part or full loft boarding insultation, lighting and smoke alarms to transform dark and forgotten lofts into usable space.”

More Than Loft Ladders is extending an invitation to the Bondholder community to attend the official opening of the premises at 35 High Street, Long Eaton, NG10 1HZ on Wednesday 12 July between 4.30pm and 6pm.

The event will be an opportunity to learn more about the services the firm provides and join the team for food and drink.
