Managing Director

Nick Dore

I am very proud to continue the legacy that my grandfather and father created.

Strong customer commitment, integrity and values installed by 2 generations are still the most important driver in our business.

Today however we are design lead, we create spaces that enhance people’s lives, with the advantage of more than 60 years of experience in flooring and textiles, and that makes us unique in the industry. I love design, I love my job and the people I work with every day, our team, our suppliers, and our very loyal customers. It is incredibly important to me that you have a unique and enjoyable experience every time you walk in our door.

General Manager/Director

Sharon Moore

Obsession with design and development was my mission. In 2002 when I re-joined what was then Dore’s For Floors after a career in my own design business in Auckland, I was part of a vision in building our team and brand which would develop into the thriving, approachable, and yes fun environment that is now Nextdore Interiors.

I am unhesitatingly proud to be a part of a team of inspiring yet individual designers and professionals who make up Nextdore Interiors, the people behind the brand that make the experience so enriching for you our clients.

Director

Chris Attwood

I always think of myself as the floorcovering guru who has spent a 40-year career with what is now the enduring brand Nextdore Interiors. It is a true pleasure sharing my craft and the wealth of knowledge I have with staff and clients alike.

I am indescribably thankful for the people – buyers, sellers, friends and family who have been part of the incredible story that has been my career to date and even now feel privileged to be part of the journey of this ever evolving business.

Nextdore has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and growing up in a family business within the interiors industry naturally shaped my creativity and love for visual storytelling. Being surrounded by design from a young age gave me an appreciation for detail, innovation, and the power of a strong brand experience.


While completing my marketing degree, I discovered how much I enjoy digital design and content creation - especially blending creativity with strategy to find new, unique ways to bring ideas to life.
