Tile has a long history of supporting
general contractors in their efforts to
deliver exceptional projects. Today
the company works on projects
across a wide range of niches and
scours the globe to find the best so-
lution to meet each project’s specific
demands. Josh Turner, vice president,

school, learning the business from
