Rearo On the Move in Dunfermline

The man who first established the Rearo brand in Dunfermline more than 26 years ago has now master-minded the company's successful move to new showroom premises in the town.

Since becoming manager of Rearo's first shop in the town in the mid 1980's selling household hardware, Jim Smart has seen the company expand to become one of the UK's leading manufacturer and supplier of a whole range of surfacing materials widely used in kitchens and bathrooms in homes, offices, sports facilities, bars and restaurants all over the country.

The new 4,000 sq ft showroom in Primrose Lane at Dunfermline Business Park provides an excellent opportunity for customers to see the whole range of Rearo products. Alongside the showroom, a purpose-built warehouse will continue to serve as a distribution centre for the East of Scotland.

Rearo has moved from its previous base at Elgin Street Industrial Estate, Dunfermline, where for the past few years it has provided a wide variety of home improvement and interior design materials from shower panels to wall lining systems.

Jim says: ‘This is the fourth time we have moved premises in Dunfermline as the company has expanded. Opening the showroom enables us to display the ever-increasing range of products we have available.’

The opening of the new centre in Dunfermline follows the relocation of Rearo's laminate manufacturing base to a 37,000 sq ft factory and showroom in Glasgow two years ago.

The company, which has distribution centres across the UK with other branches in Washington in Tyne and Wear, Caldicot in Monmouthshire and a new sales operation in Manchester, recently moved its headquarters in Lerwick, Shetland, to incorporate a large new showroom.

Managing Director of Rearo, Graham Mercer, said: ‘Opening new showrooms is an integral part of our expansion programme - allowing customers to see and touch real products and enabling our staff to demonstrate our products at first hand.’
