Show Notes

Some have suggested that Floor Coverings International is to the flooring industry what Amazon is to retail.”  My guest today, Floor Coverings International President and CEO Tom Wood says, “This business model is only becoming more and more relevant. Homeowners are looking for convenience and value, and they reward us for delivering it. Our ability to disrupt the flooring industry by bringing the flooring directly to the customer is exactly why our franchise will continue to grow over the coming years.

Tom Wood joined Floor Coverings International in 2005 after previously serving three years as a Vice President of it's parent company FirstService Brands,overseeing the strategy and operational direction of several brands within their franchising portfolio. Tom actually initially joined FSB as a franchisee in 1985 and had worked in a few of its sister companies, including: College Pro Painters as both a franchisee and as an executive at CertaPro Painters as Vice President and part of the founding team. This week, it is my pleasure to introduce you to my friend, Tom Wood, President and CEO of Floor Coverings International.
