As our conversation draws to a close , Duccio reflects on the last few years in business and shares how these experiences will shape the organization moving forward . “ It ’ s been a challenging few years in the industry , especially as the Covid-19 pandemic impacted the hospitality market and as a result , people weren ’ t traveling ,” he says . “ However , we had a steady stream of mid-size hotel refurbishments throughout the pandemic , and we ’ re starting to see large projects return to our books as the market recovers .
“ For example , we ’ ve just received a $ 2.3 million order for the Gaylord Pacific Resort and Convention Center in San Diego ,” Duccio concludes . “ This year , we expect to be just shy of our pre-Covid turnover , but we anticipate full market recovery to flush out the ‘ Covid effect ’ within the next year . This has been evidenced by the return of refurbishment work in the cruise sector , which is expected to experience continuous growth in coming years .”
Throughout its history , Brintons has survived industry changes and come out on top . With Duccio at the helm , the business is sure to deliver excellence as it continues to develop new specialist products at the forefront of the luxury carpet market . ■
