Profits and turnover rise on back of three insurer deals
Carpetright chairman Lord Harris, said it insurance profits had helped increase turnover by 7.0% to £516.6m (2009: £482.8m) and pre-tax profit to £22.3m (2009: £16.7m)
Carpetright said: “We have continued to focus on gaining additional sales through the insurance replacement business. This has proved successful, with contracts secured from three of the largest domestic insurance providers in the country.
“These contracts commenced during the year and, after positive feedback about the quality of our products and service, the volume of business through this channel, although still small relative to the Group's total revenue, continues to grow.”
