The Team
Welcome to The Flooring Hub
Having spent nearly two decades in the industry I have had the privilege to work on some of the biggest and most complex flooring projects in the world.
I have worked with some charismatic characters over the years in flooring and I was inspired to build a sustainable flooring company to offer cost effect flooring solutions.
The Flooring Hub has always been a dream of mine since joining the industry and has been a number of years in the making culminating in years of training and dedication to the trade.
From small but pleasant beginnings originally from sunny Cornwall in the United Kingdom I fell into flooring like many people do and found a passion for Project Management.
Working through the flooring ranks from Junior PM to lead estimator for large flooring firms I have gained valuable contacts and work methodologies enabling balance at home and work.
Having my supporting wife Laura and family behind me coupled with a dedicated hardworking installation team I believe is the key recipe for continued success and repeat business.
Flooring is a Niche market but with guidance and assistance throughout the costing and delivery phase the end result can be Fabulous.
I look forward to ‘connecting through floors’ with many more clients in the near future.
Chris Luscombe – Director
Antony Bowen
Foreman
Antony is a rare breed in the flooring industry with his wealth of experience helping work through complex flooring installations galvanizing those around him.
Leading from the front Antony demonstrates leadership and professionalism helping The Flooring Hub to deliver tailor made flooring packages to a wide variety of clients.
Having over a decade of experience within the NZ flooring market working across multiple flooring disciplines Antony is able to work closely with clients to ensure quality is consistent throughout all the installations carried out.
Antony plays a pivotal role in supporting the in-house QS team and installation department.
You will generally find Antony with the radio on listening to some questionable music.
Caleb Cathro-Monoghan
Senior Flooring Installer
Caleb is a well-respected flooring installer within The Flooring Hub team with an incredible work ethic.
Originally from Oamaru, the largest town of the Waitaki District, he has accelerated his learning over the past few years to become a very competent installer with maturity beyond his years.
Caleb has a diverse skill set when it comes to installing floorcoverings and floor preparation work.
He has aspirations of owning his own house in the future but spends a lot of his free time jet boating and fishing, when we can get him away from the tools.
As he enjoys all the expensive hobbies owning a house maybe somewhere down the track.
I was delighted when Caleb joined the installation team and look forward to seeing his development further in the coming years.
Zachary Kent
Flooring Installer
Zach has been with The Flooring Hub for a number of years, and he continues to produce high quality workmanship each time.
Originally from Christchurch, Zach has worked all over the South Island mastering the skills of floor laying and I am pleased to have him on the team and have no doubt he will help any new floorlayers that join TFH team.
Having worked on large rest homes / schools and hospitals Zach is a versatile installer with an appetite for technical challenges.
Zach is a keen artist and gamer in his spare time away from the floor.
Jacob Wells
Flooring Apprentice
Jacob is the youngest member of The Flooring Hub team and has shown considerable promise since he started his BCITO apprentship.
Having completed his own smaller flooring projects for the company Jacob is now experiencing working on larger building sites assisting senior flooring installers with larger commercial builds.
Jacob is very proficient in using state of the art uplifting machinery and large planetary grinders to prepare any flooring substrate for new floorcoverings.
Working through the BCITO training modules Jacob is gaining valuable experience across the flooring sector providing valuable support and assistance to the senior installers.
Jacob has an eye for cars and with hard work and continued learning will no doubt get another car he wants.
