Here’s our update for the month of December.

CFO Newsletter – Issue 11 – February 2023

February gave us a few nice sunshine days and all at CFO were smiling talking about the lighter mornings and evenings, little did we know that colder weather and snow was due in March

The new Crucial Trading remnants were very successful for us with orders for rugs from Mrs Austin, Mrs Paterson and Tori Manderson from Northern Ireland. Thank you Tori for your patience and support and we are delighted you are happy with your rugs. We will be looking to buy more remnant ends from Crucial Trading the coming months, please keep your eyes on the CFO website for this.

We received orders this month from Kal Douley for Adams Carpets Close Companions and Brintons Timorous Beasties and some Victoria Carpets Habberley Ridge from Lorraine Schwartz.

Mr and Mrs Hurst visited the store and purchased some Brintons Heather Fern, they insisted that  Kelvin and Josh Hill installed their carpet not only because they installed their carpets previously but as Josh’s Auntie had lived in their house before them and Josh used to visit as a small boy.

We fitted over 80 square metres of Victoria Carpets and 28 boxes of our Woodland Fir herringbone for Mrs Sadler and supplied around 60 square metres of Brockway Carpets Solar to Asad Shaidy in London.

We have now also installed the Karndean flooring and Crucial Trading carpet to Sproson Opticians in Hagley, it’s looking great and photos will be posted on our Instagram soon.

Finally, It was a pleasure to meet with Lol and Veronica Cauley and talk about old times in Kidderminster and especially about the old carpet mills and the characters that worked there.

Here’s our update for the month of December.

CFO Newsletter – Issue 10 – January 2023

The year started slowly for all at CFO as we all recovered from too much food and drink, but we quickly picked ourselves up to record a good month for sales. This was mainly due to our clearance items bought in especially for our January sale.

Many of the clearance rolls from Rowe Carpets were sold and we were able to display the new Crucial Trading remnants. We are hoping that these will sell quickly and help us to develop our relationship with Crucial Trading for many years to come.

We have purchased around 2,000 square metres of Brintons clearance, discontinued, remnant, roll ends and slight seconds carpets along with seven rolls of various clearance items from Lusotufo, including some unusual wool stripe loop pile carpets. All these carpets are due to be delivered around the middle of March.

Highlights for January were the completion of the installation of the Brintons Quickweave for Johal. Photos of the installation will be shared on our instagram account very soon. The main office carpet from Brockway for Aztec Labels was also installed in January, thank you Colin and Sharon for your support and we hope that you are as happy as we are with your carpet. We also completed the installation of the Tudor Twist carpet from Victoria Carpets for Jon Saunders and received a large order from Mr Onderdonck in Aylesbury for the roll of CFO clearance Jack Diamond carpet.

Mrs Shaw ordered 17 boxes of Ted Tood wood flooring along with 34 square metres of Brintons Bell Twist. Mrs Roberts ordered over 65 square metres of Castlemead Twist from Adams Carpets for her lounge, hall and stairs and landing. She is so very happy, she is now planning on ordering more carpet from us for her bedrooms. Mike and Debbie Phasey ordered Brintons Country Plain Padstow for their Bedrooms and Landing with a taped stair runner to be installed in March. They have also ordered our own Highland Tweed range from Brintons for their lounge and chosen 16 boxes of Ted Tood wood flooring that Mike will install himself.
