Strategic Drivers for Success
The company’s growth this quarter is attributed to several key pillars of its current business strategy:
- Trade Focus: Professional trade sales grew by 3.7%, underscoring the loyalty of contractor customers. Topps plans to further this momentum with a new dedicated Trade App launching in Q3.
- Brand Expansion: Following the 2024 acquisition of CTD Tiles, the group has successfully streamlined the portfolio. Additionally, the recent acquisition of Fired Earth in December 2025 is already contributing to revenue through a revitalized supply chain.
- Mission 365: The group continues to diversify its catalog beyond tiles into adjacent flooring and wall categories, capturing a larger share of the renovation market.
- Leadership Transition: This marks the first update under new CEO Alex Jensen, who succeeded Rob Parker in December. Jensen noted that while inflationary pressures remain, the group’s competitive positioning is stronger than ever.
