Building a Business Through Relationships

By Cathy Leidersdorff

Commercial flooring is truly one of the last relationship businesses. This belief has fueled Architectural Flooring Resource for more than 25 years and it is the core value of our company today. 

Since I started the company in 1993, the industry has changed, moving faster and increasingly reliant on technology. However, even in a large market like New York City, the engine behind my business remains my professional affiliations with the design and architecture community, the end users and the manufacturing community. From the earliest days of my career, I cultivated the entire spectrum of these relationships, all of which were critical to our success.
