A NEW showroom will open in Wey Hill in February, following the merger of two established Haslemere businesses. Alan Baker Flooring and interior design store The Silkroad are coming together to form a bigger, better and brighter store to be called Silkroad Interiors and Flooring.

Although the interiors and specialist flooring departments will continue to provide independent services and products where needed, the new showroom will offer a more comprehensive service in a space more than double the size of the current Silkroad showroom.

Alan Baker, who owns both businesses, said: “When the idea of bringing both companies together under one roof was first mooted, we could instantly see how great an opportunity it could be to grow our already extensive product and service offerings.

“The entire team are raring to go and can’t wait to be a part of the future of the Silkroad.”
