TM Interiors Ltd is an abbreviation of Tom McAlpin Interiors established in 1975 by Tom McAlpin. It is now entirely possible for customers to research and make choices from the comfort of their own homes without the need to step into a retail outlet. TM Interiors has adapted to serve those that wish to purchase interior products in this way, while at the same time still maintaining services and a retail showroom for customers who prefer to visit them Tom McAlpin set up shop on Lincoln Road Millfield when it was considered the "high street" of Peterborough, having served his apprenticeship at Baxter's furniture store in Whittlesey. With the help of his fitter Barry Munns the pair quickly gained a good reputation for expert sales advice and quality workmanship which enabled them to grow the business. Tom soon became a member of the Greendale group of some 160 independent retail stores. Being part of such an organisation meant he was able to compete favourably with the larger retail outlets yet retain the hgh level of personal service that customers expected.
