The Flair Team

Carole Hickton - Financial Director

After nearly 40 years of running the family business and seeing many changes in that time, I feel we are now ready and equipped to go forward into the 21st century able to meet any challenges. We strive to engage with our customers and suppliers creating a professional and pleasant experience when dealing with us. The most important thing for me is our staff who are totally loyal and dedicated: I have always treated them as part of our family.

Paul Hickton - Managing Director

Paul is responsible for the smooth running of the company. "I have seen a definite change in customers’ views: now service is as important as price and this is something at Flair that we pride ourselves on. Our products and services have always been built up to a standard rather than down to a price and this puts us in a good position for the future. Customers want to deal with a supplier who is responsive and pro-active, and the team at Flair are expert at this".
