Who's the chairman? Doesn't seem to get involved!!

[howden32] 07/12/2018 16:27

David Clifford as senior independent director . It makes good reading what this role actually is

The countdown begins, I believe it's only 11 more days before they announce their losses . Can't imagine it will be good reading

Ssjsa Agree with your comments....As when Carpetright was launched the then Sir now Lord Harris and his team poached staff offering huge salaries only to reduce by various amounts some circa 30% and more 6l9 months after joining. I know Tapi has been ofering larger salaries than what CPR are paying to entice people across... nature of the beast...as some carpwtright stores close Tapi are picking up a percentage of the extra business in those towns n city's....SP continues to erode here i see single figures just around the corner.SEnior management apear to have lost control of the compaies destiny and its emplyees...Shame.K

ssjsa I'm an ex employee and your post is 100% accurate.

Have not worked in the carpet industry for nearly 4 years, but have kept up with what has been happening in the trade through my former colleagues who currently work for both Carpetright and Tapi. Looking at the Carpetright situation objectively, the biggest issue in their demise, is they have given Tapi cart blanche to poach whoever they want, by having a total disregard for the previous loyalty of quality people who have become completely disillusioned with the running of the business by a management team who are both inept, and completely out of touch with the best practises which made Carpetright the business it was. There are still a lot of quality people left, but unless the management team finally realise the importance of treating their people with respect, and recognising their true worth, then that core of good people will either leave for an alternative industry or be head hunted by Tapi, as and when they need them.

Fantastic achievement by ceo -he is a hero to himself.

Correct me saltsquire I heard the same thing , I feel sorry for the Carpetright staff that are getting made redundant and then Carpetright are offering Tapi staff a job , I did hear that it was almost embarrassing how they keep phoning and texting them . Didn't think there was any jobs going if they had made redundancies. Is that against the law ?

Carpetright has admitted that trading in the first half of its financial year has been “heavily impacted by disruption” from its CVA plan.

During the trading period, Carpetright closed 65 stores in the UK and two within its European operations, with a further six stores expected to close before the end of the year.

Despite a weak performance in the UK, trading in the rest of Europe (The Netherlands, Belgium and the Republic of Ireland) has been slightly ahead of the same period last year, said Carpetright.

Find it interesting how they have closed shops , made people redundant and then trying to get Tapi to go back and work for them . Think they are panicking, realising that they are left with the dregs and trying one last ditch attempt because they don't have no experience no more

So glad I dumped mine at £10.57

[bouleversee] 02/11/2018 17:09

Thanks for that. I resisted the rights issue but was almost tempted to buy a few today when they started to go up. Rather glad I didn't. I have lost all of my investment of many years ago bar about £26. Am too old for this game.

[bouleversee] 02/11/2018 09:57

Article in The Times today says Carpetright turnaround is on track. We'll see.

[davycarpets] 02/11/2018 09:36

1st Non-Exec to jump ship?

[davycarpets] 02/11/2018 08:34

And I believe in Santa

Where? Looks like CPR needs more CPR.
