Leading tile specialist, Ceramique Internationale, has expanded its experienced team with the appointment of a new manager for its Leeds-based Tiles and Mosaics showroom.

Francesca Cornforth, 27, brings a wealth of experience to the team having previously worked as a design and sales consultant for a number of prominent ceramic tile brands. Most recently she was the Assistant Manager of Porcelanosa in Leeds.

At Tiles and Mosaics Francesca will be responsible for the day to day running of the 4,500 sq ft showroom, providing advice and support to customers in person, on-line and over the phone.

Francesca said: “This opportunity was too good for me to turn down. In my previous role I was selling one brand but now I have the opportunity to work with some of the biggest and best tile manufacturers from Italy, Spain and across Europe. I’m very much looking forward to helping our customers to source the perfect tiles for their projects.”

Cameron Fraser, director of Ceramique Internationale, said: “Francesca is a fabulous addition to our team at Tiles and Mosaics. She has design flair and plenty of experience in the sector and we are sure she is going to be a great hit with our customers. The showroom has been busier than ever since re-opening post-pandemic and we’re sure she will contribute to that continued success.”
