Tapi Carpets and Floors Limited has announced that it will be rescuing the Carpetright brand and 54 stores from administration. However, that does mean that 100s of Carpetright stores will be closing and 1,018 staff members will be made redundant.
It came to light over a week ago that Carpertright would be going into administration. Founded in 1988, the flooring company had 273 stores and 1,898 employees and was a classic go-to for carpets, rugs and even artificial lawns. However, fellow carpet and flooring company Tapi has stepped in to rescue 54 of the stores from closure.
