 | | Furlong Flooring has been something of an enigma, largely because the company has, until now, adopted a deliberately low profile. |
 | | Try a Google search on the Internet, for example, and beyond stories of colourful founder Noel Furlong's gambling triumphs (such as the 1999 poker World Series) and a dated presence for Furlong's Dartford distribution centre, there is little to shed light on a group which employs 450 people and has a #75m turnover. |
