The COVID lockdown brought business to a halt, leading to devastating consequences for many small business owners. One family flooring business in Glasgow was hit particularly bad, being forced to close for good. After 48 years in operation, it signalled an extremely devastating time for the family and the owners. But, fortunes quickly turned around after the MD pursued a new business venture, which has since amassed a massive £9.5 million in sales over a two-year period.
Gym-Flooring.com is the name of the business, and it is owned and run by Richard McKay. After his family business, unfortunately, had to close due to the pandemic, he sought out a new idea using Shopify and e-commerce. It ended up being one of the best decisions he has ever made as the company enjoyed immediate success. Alongside the impressive two-year sales figures, the online company has serviced over 20,000 happy customers since its inception.
From Lockdown Lows To Post-Pandemic Highs
Like a lot of small businesses, Richard McKay’s family flooring company was forced to close during the pandemic. A combination of factors meant the business was no longer viable. For a man, and a business, that had been around for nearly five decades, this was a massive low point.
Nevertheless, as MD, McKay set his sights on new ideas during his time at home. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise as the extra time at home allowed him to pursue a new venture in the online world. When Gym-Flooring.com was officially launched in 2020, it very quickly caught the attention of customers across the UK. This business was a genius move for McKay, who went from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs.
As a result of the initial success, the company is now looking to expand to the US. This will open up massive opportunities for McKay and his team, helping the company springboard to even more success. Alongside this, there are plans to broaden its product catalogue too. Currently, the website sells various types of gym flooring for use at home or in commercial gyms. In the future, McKay hopes to sell gymnastic mats and other gym equipment too.
It has certainly been quite the success story for Gym-Flooring.com, proving that even when things don’t go how one hoped, there is always a chance to turn the situation around and see a positive outcome.
