In a move which significantly strengthens its credentials as a leading laminate supplier in the UK, James Latham will be offering the full Abet range across all nine of its nationwide panel depots.

Andrew Wright, Director, Lathams Limited, commented, “This latest commitment is a clear signal to the market that we are a serious laminate supplier and ensures national availability of Abet’s entire range throughout the Latham Group.  The Abet collection fits perfectly within our existing portfolio and significantly enhances our laminate offering.  In addition, we are also working towards offering  our customers a 24-hour nationwide delivery service on this and all the other Laminates held in stock.”

Mr Wright added, “Abet has always focused strongly on creativity and innovation and with links to the best Italian and International designers in the business, they offer a diverse range of laminates in many colours, styles and textures to suit almost any application and I am confident that this latest addition will quickly have a major impact on our presence within this sector.”
