A Carpetright store in Reading will close after the chain was bought out of administration earlier this week.

It was announced on Monday the flooring retailer Tapi had agreed to buy 54 Carpetright stores, two warehouses, the brand and its intellectual property in a pre-pack administration deal.

However, the deal will not save the majority of the business, including its head office in Purfleet, Essex.

The branch will shut along with others in Berkshire which include ones in Bracknell, Slough and Wokingham.

Neighbouring outlets in Aylesbury, Gerrards Cross and High Wycombe (Buckinghamshire), Stevenage, Watford and Welwyn Garden City (Hertfordshire) and two in Oxford (Oxfordshire) will also close.

Carpetright, which is owned by Nestware Holdings, filed a notice to appoint administrators earlier this month, after struggling in the face of weaker demand and a major cyber attack in April.

The company employed 1,852 people and operated 273 stores across the UK before entering insolvency.

Administrators at PwC said the deal will save more than 308 current jobs at Carpetright.

However, it said 1,018 workers will face immediate redundancy across its stores which were not part of the rescue deal.

Zel Hussain, joint administrator at PwC, said: “The sale of some stores and the brand to Tapi has allowed over 300 jobs to be saved, and gives the Carpetright brand the chance to continue and flourish under its new ownership.

“However, it is deeply saddening that for the remainder of the workforce there will be redundancies.

“We are committed to helping those affected and will make sure redundancy claims are processed as quickly as possible.”

The administrators said orders made at stores now set for closure “are unable to be fulfilled” and recommended customers to contact their card provider to potentially secure a refund.

Here is a full list of the 213 stores expected to close over the coming days, as provided by PwC.
