I heard that BCT lost 5 Mill last year so they might be teetering as well.
Nicobond have lots of stock of pilks Gary so you might want to get your order in quick for those tiles mate.

Wow that is a shock, Pilks were a real part of UK tile industry. I believe Quilligotti had some involvement:yikes:

Pilks were Pilks in name only they were bought by an indian owned co i believe afew years ago now, heavy retail involvment in bnq cant of helped as people stopped spending their money and their architectural side not as sharp as Johnsons. Shame to see the name go though.

Very sad news, always had a lot of time for the staff there

If you do go to BCT tiles, give me a shout. We do alot with BCT and should have just about the best prices around
