Karpet Mills looking to continue strong growth into the New Year as home improvement market continues to thrive.
Karpet Mills, the North East leading Carpet and Flooring retailer, are planning ahead for what is expected to be a busy start to 2022, as carpet and flooring sales continuing to prosper due to the boost in home improvement sector, post lockdown.
All six Karpet Mills store, plus the NEW Designer Flooring Premium Showroom at their Kingston Park branch in Newcastle, successfully re-opened and business has been extremely positive, with footfall numbers incredibly high.
“With life slowly returning to normal after lockdown, we were unsure of how the market would react.” Says Joel Dickinson, Karpet Mills Director. “But we are delighted to say that the home improvement sector, and importantly for us – carpets and flooring, has seen an enormous spike in demand, and has remained consistently high for the second half of 2021.”
Due to the high demand, the team has expanded, with new experienced sales staff to assist in stores, and also significantly increasing their team of fitting experts. “With the investment of our Designer Flooring showrooms, we have seen an increased interest in bespoke, detailed flooring projects, and we have had to invest further in our team to ensure we can successfully undertake these developments. We are excited to start 2022 and continue to grow the business.”
With stores in Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, Hexham, and Benton, the 6th generation family run business is able to offer even more quality carpet and flooring deals. “We offer consistently high-quality products at consistently low prices. Established growth of our business has significantly boosted our buying power. We source ‘A-Grade’ stock from across Europe and buy in bulk to pass the savings directly to our customers – and with the new warehouse space at Kingston Park and Hexham, we can now hold even more stock.” Adds Joel, “We are able to sell famous branded products at prices not normally seen by the general public. We sell Axminsters, heavy weight 80/20 wool twists and stainfree saxonies to our customers at better than wholesale cost. And with the addition of our Designer Flooring showrooms, we are now able to provide the best names in hard flooring too – including the largest Amtico display in the North East.”
Karpet Mills combines the experience gleaned from over a 140 years trading with the modern-day expectations of quality and service to provide the full package for every customer. All branches, including Designer Flooring showrooms are open for trade 7 days a week.
