CFO Newsletter – Issue 13 – April 2023

Well sunshine at last and all smiles at Carpet Factory Outlets Kidderminster as we look forward to the summer. April was another busy month for sales in both carpets and especially hard flooring.

Apologies if you tried to call, email or visit our website on certain days in April and received no reply. We had several issues with all 3 during the month and unfortunately may not have received your enquiry. All lines of communication are now back open so please contact us again if you still need us.

We have ordered a further 2,500 square metres of Brintons roll ends, remnants, discontinued, clearance and slight seconds carpets. These are due to be delivered in early June and we aim to have these on our website www.cfoflooring.co.uk  and on display in store by the end of June. We are also working with Brintons Design team on developing our own exclusive Axminster carpet ranges. We have built a new stand for this in our showroom and samples of all 5 new ranges will be unveiled very soon.

Highlights for April were orders from Mrs Maxwell for around 150m2 of Sisal Weave and Derek Sweeney for around 120m2 of Heartland Heathers both made by Victoria Carpets. We also had the pleasure of seeing David Hill again in the store, this time ordering about 40m2 of Brintons Marquis to follow up from his order from November last year for 2 roll ends of Brintons Renaissance and Abbotsford.

Mr & Mrs Todd ordered over 100m2 of Karndean Art Select and Da Vinci LVT for their house. Neil and Dean are due to fit these in May.

Justin Higgins fitted the Kasbah and Castlemead Twist from Adams Carpets for Mr & Mrs Carre and Matt Raymond fitted the Brintons Timorous Beasties carpet and the Brockway Dimensions carpet for Kal Douley.

Our thank you’s this month go to Mr & Mrs Whittaker for their order for Brintons Bell Twist Spun Gold and both Emily Shiels and Jodi Read for their orders for Brockway Carpets Padstow range  in colours Chamois Pebble Tweed and Angora Strata respectively. It was a pleasure to meet you all.

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.

Here’s our update for the month of December.

CFO Newsletter – Issue 9 – December 2022

Well Christmas has been and gone and we would like to wish
everyone a Happy  New Year. The New Year
has started with lots of resolutions from the staff here at CFO, I wonder how
long they will last?

Our Sale started in January with many items reduced to
clear, including some Karndean Knight Tile Click in stone and wood effect, a
selection of V4 laminate flooring and many remnant ends collected from Rowe
Carpets in December. Once these ends have been sold we will be able to display
the clearance Crucial Trading carpets and sisal pieces.

Highlights for December were orders from Mr Birader and the
Thadwal Family both for over 100 square metres of Brintons Timorous Beasties
and Renaissance Collections. We also successfully worked with a number of
Interior Designers in December with both Anisha Malhotra Interiors and Marta
from Tibbatts Design in Birmingham ordering Cormar Linwood and Brockway
Heathcote respectively.

Mr Williams ordered 59 boxes of Karndean Knight Tile and
Opus along with 135 square metres of Victoria Carpets Ultimate Impressions and
Mr Jones ordered 29 Boxes of Ted Todd Classic Naturals. We also supplied a
sisal rug from Fibre to T.H. Baker Jewellers.

Here’s our update for the month of May.

CFO Newsletter – Issue 8 – November 2022

Winter is well and truly here and despite the cold temperatures our team here at CFO Flooring still have warm hearts and smiles on our faces. November was another busy month for CFO Flooring with the warehouse busy with many customers wanting carpets fitted before Christmas.

The remnant ends from Crucial Trading arrived in mid November but before we had chance to put the carpet on display we took delivery of the remaining stock from Rowe Carpets after their closure. This has meant that we now have more carpets in stock than ever before. The plan in January will be to hold an extensive sale with the aim to sell our excess stock at hugely discounted rates.

We had the pleasure of welcoming back Angelo to Carpet Factory Outlets in November. We agreed that CFO and Crucial Trading would be a great partnership moving forward and we will now be representing their high quality brand.

Highlights for November were the installation of Victoria Burford Twist carpet to the offices at Aztec Labels on Firs Industrial Estate. We will be installing Brockway Carpets Dimensions in colour Caviar in the New Year. I would like to give a special thank you to Colin and Sharon for their support and their patience with our installation team.

We supplied two Brintons Axminster carpet remnants to Bromley Churchill Theatre. The carpet is to be used on stage to replicate a 1980’s Working Men’s Social Club in a drag show called “A Christmas Carole”

Mr Morris of Broughton Pianos ordered 36 boxes of Karndean Art Select for his showroom and Roger Bowles ordered 16m2 of Ted Todd Oak flooring and 20 square metres of Brintons Marquis for the dance floor at the Old Street Tavern in Ludlow

We also delivered over 100m2 of Victoria Carpets Luxuria in colour Sugarplum Fairy to Poole for our regular customers Mr and Mrs Cox-Chanin

Finally, we would like wish Johal a very speedy recovery. It was a pleasure to see him last week at his home and we look forward to fitting his beautiful Brintons Quickweave carpet to his stairs and landing in the New Year

Here’s our update for the month of May.

CFO Newsletter – Issue 7 – October 2022

A record sales month for October meant that it was another busy month at Carpet Factory Outlets. The delivery of the 4,000 square metres of Brintons Carpets was received on 14^th October and all the roll ends, remnants and discontinued items are on show in our warehouse. We now have a huge amount of stock ready for our clearance sale starting December 1^st through till the end of January.

We are also taking delivery of around 40 clearance pieces from Crucial Trading this Friday 18^th November with a mixture of sisals, jutes and wool loops available at hugely discounted prices.

Paul and I would like to say thank you to Sam and Martin at Victoria Carpets for a highly productive business meeting at Miller and Carter in Bromsgrove. We look forward to putting all the new plans in place. It’s amazing how easy it is to do business together over a very enjoyable evening.

With sadness we see that Rowe Carpets are closing their doors for the final time at their showroom on New Road in Kidderminster. The Rowe family are synonymous with high quality carpets in the local area and they will be a miss to our trade. All at CFO and Foynes Carpets would like to wish Philippa and family all the very best for the future.

Highlights for the month were receiving order of over 100m2 of Ted Todd Herringbone from Mrs Elphrahim and a custom Brintons Quickweave carpet from Johal for his house in Edgbaston. Thank you Johal, I hope you are feeling well after your operation and we look forward to seeing the photos of the carpet after the installation in December.

There are many to thank this month from me. Firstly to Helen and John Ingram, it has been an absolute pleasure meeting and getting to know them. I am delighted that the installation of the Brintons Carpets has gone well and you are happy. I look forward to catching up with you again in the New Year. Secondly to Brad Hewitt, it’s been a pleasure to supply you with the Victoria Carpets Ultimate Impressions. Finally to John Stinton, I loved our little chats about the old times in the carpet industry in Kidderminster and wish you and your family all the very best. I am sure you are happy with the quality of the Brockways and Victoria Carpets you chose. After all you do know about carpet haha.

CFO Newsletter – Issue 6 – September 2022

Autumn is well and truly here now with the leaves turning
golden brown and the wind howling at the door. Despite the turn in the
temperature, September was again a very busy month for us here at Carpet
Factory Outlets.

The installation of the Victoria Carpets for the Best
Western Queensway Hotel was completed to the total satisfaction of the owners
and we are now working with 2 further hotels on the same street. I would like
to personally thank SY Carpets and team for their excellent hard work as usual.

The order for the 4,000 square metres of Brintons Carpets
clearance, discontinued, slight seconds and remnant and roll ends has been
placed and we are expecting delivery around 14^th October. This
exciting news means that we will be having an extensive sale in December and
January with up to 50% off our already hugely discounted prices.

Highlights for September were for orders received from Mrs
Reynolds for around 125 square metres of Heartland Heathers Wrought Iron from
Victoria Carpets, we wish her all the best in her new house, and some Tomkinsons
Twist for 2 new Ted Baker stores in Merry Hill and Derby. We were also pleased
to be able to supply around 300 square metres of Victoria LVT to a property
development company in the Cotswolds for some apartments in Salcombe.
