                 Victoria collects two awards from the Industry


Victoria Carpets is pleased to announce that, for the second year running, the
Company has been recognised for its quality products and service by being voted
top supplier and producers of the best tufted product.

The prestigious awards for 'Best Supplier' and 'Best Tufted Product' were
presented to John Duncan, Joint Managing Director, and Shaun Lewis, UK Sales &
Marketing Director Victoria Carpets following the end of the Harrogate Fair
where a broad range of representatives from the industry were attending.

Victoria was chosen to receive the awards following the annual poll by the
flooring industry's leading trade publication, Carpet Flooring Review ('CFR').
The poll of CFR's 6,000 readership which represents a large cross-section of the
flooring industry from manufacturers to wholesalers and retailers were surveyed
about a number of areas including manufacture, supply, products, quality and
service.

Commenting on the awards, Alan Bullock, Group Managing Director, Victoria P.L.C
said:

"Victoria remains focussed on delivering to our customers the very best value
for money and quality products backed by a highly effective and efficient
service. We are continuing to invest in new products and indeed launched three
new products at the Harrogate Fair which were all enthusiastically received by
our customers."

John Duncan, Joint Managing Director, Victoria Carpets added:

"We are delighted once again to have been recognised by our customers and the
industry for our quality of service and products - this is a tribute to the hard
work and dedication of the Victoria team from the shop-floor to the management."
