A York store will close within days after its parent company went into administration.

The Carpetright outlet at Clifton Moor is set to shut very soon.

Administrators PwC confirmed that Carpetright has been bought in a rescue deal by rival Tapi, but will axe 213 stores and cut more than 1,000 jobs.

Now PwC has released a list of the stores set to close.

It is no great surprise that the Clifton Moor store is going, as it is found next door to a Tapi Carpets branch.

The Clifton Moor store was only advertising for new staff a few months ago, including full and part time sales advisers.

The Carpetright concession in Furniture Village, also at Clifton Moor, is another earmarked for closure.

Similarly, the concession inside Barkers in Northallerton will go.

It’s another blow to Clifton Moor, which lost its Wilko store last October.

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 said it will retain workers at its head office for the short term as it winds down operations.

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” recommended customers to contact their card provider in order to potentially secure a refund.
