Rival brand Tapi has acquired the Carpetright brand and 54 of its stores out of administration but more than 1,500 jobs are set to be axed, it has been revealed. Whilst the deal has saved over 300 jobs, administrators from PwC said it was with “deep regret” that 1,018 employees were made redundant immediately. Staff at the company’s head office will remain employed for only a short time as the group’s operations wind down.
