With March’s Neurodiversity Celebration Week behind us and Neurodiversity Awareness Month ahead of us in April, how far have we come in understanding the needs and optimising the opportunities for neurodivergent workers? As neurodiversity continues to become an ever-hotter topic for employers, it is heartening to see that interest is now reaching well beyond the company HR department.

Milliken’s installation of its Mash Up waste reducing carpet collection at one of its own material suppliers’ offices provides the perfect example of how this innovative initiative can quickly transform a space.

When the values of two enterprises come together to create something amazingly positive, it can be a truly wonderful thing.  Last year, Milliken and Fur Clemt, a community interest company local to its UK manufacturing plant in Wigan, did just that, finding common ground through a shared concern for waste reduction.

As part of its Community Week programme, Milliken associates from its Wigan and Bury production plants donated their time to install its unique Mash Up waste reducing carpet tiles at AB-UK, a local charity supporting families with autistic children.  

By definition, ‘mash up’ refers to a mixture of different, often contrasting elements brought together to create something new. An unlikely creative combination that somehow just seems to work.

Milliken has been a showroom partner of Clerkenwell Design Week every year since the event’s inception in 2009. They have consistently showcased their innovative designs and products at the event, making significant contributions to the design community. Milliken's Berry Street Showroom has been a focal point during the event, featuring vibrant displays of their latest carpet tile and plank collections.

Northward Bound 2.0 is a new carpet tile collection from Milliken marrying the highest sustainability credentials with practicality, comfort and Scandi style. Now updated with the latest colour trends.

When you choose new flooring for your organisation, you’re choosing a product that employees, patients, students and visitors will use, day-in and day-out, for years to come. Your choice of flooring will have a huge impact on the design and feel of the environment, the comfort of its users, and even their health and wellness. Today, we’re looking at five important ways carpet tiles affect health and wellness.

With some many types of carpet to choose between, it can be difficult for organisations to choose the right carpet for their needs. The problem is worsened by a handful of carpet specification myths that crop up, time and time again. Today, I’m busting those myths.

Every day, thousands of travellers pass through your airport, wheeling luggage and pushing trolleys. With such extreme levels of foot traffic moving all through the building, you need to be certain your flooring can withstand the demanding environment. But when it’s time for a refit, replacing the flooring throughout your airport is a huge – and expensive – job.
