Tony Brewer and Paul Bassi partnered to establish Likewise Group. The formation of the company comes as the UK flooring distributor Headlam entered administration on September 1, 2026. Headlam had been a major player in the UK wholesale floor-coverings market since 1991, when it gained a 22% stake in the listed conglomerate. Brewer has been involved in the company since its early days.
