With the sad news that Carpetright has decided to close 92 stores (full list below) with the loss of approximately 300 jobs, as Specialist Retail Sales recruiters that work extensively with clients and candidates in the same market sector we wanted to provide some assistance.
Whilst we hope that some of those 300 staff will be able to be re-deployed elsewhere in the business, we know that some employees (who for example may not be eligible for redundancy) will take more direct action to look after themselves at a time like this. This advice is intended to help those people.
