Jaymart gets even Bigger
Many flooring businesses boast that
they are the “biggest and best” but
Jaymart’s claim to have the UK’s
widest range of specialist floorings,
mats and mattings has yet to be truly
challenged.
Jaymart’s ranges are ever evolving
and the company has just moved
to much bigger, better premises at
Crusader Park in Warminster.
The company stocks approximately
500 different ranges, which, although
impressive, is merely a fraction of its
complete product list. Sales Director,
Paul Macfarlane, says “We literally
have something for everyone here,
and there are always alternatives!”
The company was founded by Martin
Bunyard in 1967 and continues to
be run in the same dynamic fashion
by his daughter, Fiona Byrom, at
the helm. Fiona says “It has been
our dream for 20 years to move
into our own premises, and we are
thrilled that, with the help of our
fantastic staff we have achieved that
ambition!”.
Product is sourced from around the
world and the company’s reputation
has led to some interesting orders.
Set designers from the worlds of film
and television frequently place orders
… for example, Jaymart’s products
have been used in James Bond films,
the “Big Brother” house and many TV
programme sets.
A bespoke manufacturing service
is contained within the company’s
warehouse, a major part of which is
extruded aluminium entrance matting
systems. This again has resulted in
many prestigious installations over
the years, including the Barbican,
Sandown Park race course, the
Business Design Centre (London),
the Savill Garden (Great Windsor
Park), the Wellcome Trust (London)
and the Millenium Point (Birmingham)
and many more. Jaymart were also
proud to be supplying their entrance
matting systems to the London 2012
Olympics.
An additional service is provided
in the form of the reproduction of
logos and images within mats. An
enhanced, digital image is sent
to a laser cutting machine which
automatically cuts the appropriate
shade out of the main carpet, then
processes the various pieces to
create the desired effect. Jaymart’s
logo mats are the entrance mat of
choice for Caffe Nero and Ted Baker
amongst many others.
Jaymart’s new Sports & Leisure
division is headed up by the founder’s
son, Nick Bunyard, and he is busy
assembling a top-notch team keen
to do battle for the expanded market
business. Jaymart currently supply

a wide range of sports and leisure
organisations including Tottenham
Hotspur FC training centre, Arsenal
training centre, Lancashire County
Cricket Club, Oxford Rugby Club and
the local, brilliant Warminster Rugby
Club.
A recent score for Nick’s team is
“Bladerunner” installed at Brighton &
Hove Albion’s 15-pitch £30M state
of the art training centre at Lancing.
Sports & Leisure’s portfolio is being
grown to offer an enhanced package
and improved customer service with
Facebook, Twitter and a techie blog
by new recruit, Sports & Leisure
Manager, Paul Farrell.
Approximately 35 people are
employed by Jaymart, but further
expansion is on the cards. With
enhanced storage capacity the
company are looking to increase their
ranges and move the company on to
its next growth stage.
