  • 34 John Lewis concessions and online operation closed
  • Unable to fulfil customer orders
  • Sister firm of Carpetright under Nestware Holdings

Carpetright’s sister firm The Floor Room has collapsed into administration, resulting in the loss of 200 jobs. PwC was appointed as administrators and closed all 34 John Lewis concessions, one standalone London store, and online operations immediately, making most employees redundant. The company is unable to fulfil customer orders. The Floor Room, a subsidiary of Nestware Holdings that sells carpets and flooring products, was operationally reliant on Carpetright. Prior to the appointment of administrators, management had exhausted options for further funding or potential sale of assets.
