What we did
Industry
Tile Showroom
Overview
Checkalow Tiles, established in 1980, have built their reputation on sourcing the latest and best tile designs directly from Italian factories and suppliers. Known for their quality products and outstanding service, Checkalow developed a loyal customer base across Barnet and beyond. In 2009, they approached us to support their online presence and help bring their showroom’s reputation to the digital space.
Over the years, we’ve supported their growth with SEO campaigns, multiple website builds, and ongoing managed hosting. Today, Checkalow are part of the BC Ceramics Group of Companies, for whom we manage a wide portfolio of digital marketing services.
