From Pubs & Horses to Hardwood Empire, a 20 year wild ride

What does it take to run one of Ireland’s most trusted hardwood flooring businesses? In this week’s episode, Sarah speaks with Siobhan Smyth, co-founder of Floorstore Direct, about her path from hospitality to hardwood and how she and her team built a brand rooted in quality, trust, and relentless education. 

What’s Inside:

  • Siobhan’s journey from working with showjumpers and running a pub to launching a flooring company
  • How she developed product knowledge, built trust with customers, and created a high-end showroom experience
  • The power of aftercare: why Floorstore Direct offers lifelong maintenance and support
  • Big lessons from 20 years in business, including weathering the 2008 recession and scaling through e-commerce
  • Her mission is to bring more training and qualifications to the flooring industry

Memorable Quote:

"If you love hardwood floors, you need to go for hardwood floors. In ten years, you can sand and change the look but you’ll still have a floor that lasts a lifetime."
