Manx Tomkinson Carpets

Manx Carpets was formed on the Isle of Man in the middle of the last century. It later transferred production to mainland UK and operated out of a factory in Blackburn, Lancashire. The company was acquired by Headlam plc in 2003.

The involvement of the Tomkinson family in carpet manufacture goes back to the mid-19th Century, when Mr Michael Tomkinson formed a business with the Adam family in Kidderminster – Tomkinson & Adam Ltd. Production began in 1869, and, by the late 1870s, they were producing woven Axminster carpet.

This partnership continued until 1926, when the two families decided to end their relationship and branch out on their own, although still in carpet manufacturing.
