Top Carpet Retailer Bucking The Trend

“Despite the difficult economy; we are showing very strong growth figures”, these are the words of Joel Dickinson, Operations Director of Karpet Mills, the North East’s biggest stockist of quality carpets, based in Hetton-Le-Hole.

 

Joel, is the sixth generation to join the company which has been selling carpets for over 100 years and explains the success of the business since it was founded in 1878, “We have a very simple philosophy – sell quality carpets at low, low prices – backed up by first rate customer service.” He adds, “We have not raised our prices in 2011, even with the higher VAT rate. We will not be beaten on price. We offer the lowest prices and the best service. For customers who haven’t visited us before, we invite them to see why we have been successfully selling carpets for over a century – old fashioned service; modern day, competitive prices.” 

 

Value for money is key, ensuring that customers come back again and again, Joel says “We have professional buyers sourcing bulk A grade stock from across the UK and Europe. Our stock holding capacity allows to us buy in bulk and pass the savings directly to our customers. Our branches on Market Street in Hetton-le-hole, County Durham and Kingston Park, Newcastle are bigger than a football pitch and showcase hundreds of rolls of quality carpet and thousands of remnants at genuinely low prices.”

There are prices to suit everyone from £2 per sqm to £45 per sqm. “Our prices are very very competitive. We sell carpets at prices that other carpet shops buy them at. We have heavy weight wool twists priced as low as £7.99 per sq. or Axminster at £17.99 per sq.  and can offer fitting within two days by one of our 15 teams of professional, time-served carpet fitters”.
