Approximately one thousand employees moved into the renovated company building in 2019. A colour concept with seven different tretford carpet tints was selected for the floor covering. In certain parts of the building the flooring's cut resistance was a perfect choice. A combination of stone and wood was selected to be able to clearly separate different rooms from each other. The tension between the colours used for dark and coloured sections, to clearly delineate the meeting area, for example, is also worthy of mention.

Education First opted for tretford carpet tiles due to the natural materials, the ease of installation and their wear and cut resistance.
