Over the previous reported period, 18-months to 31 October 2020, sales reached £493.2m, while losses resulted at £64.3m.

Stated in that report, Carpetright said: “Revenues were, unsurprisingly, extremely volatile throughout the reported period primarily due to trading restrictions enforced in reaction to the pandemic.”
