140 years and still going strong – Karpet Mills building for the future in 2018

Karpet Mills, the North East’s leading quality carpet retailer, are planning to make 2018 their best year to date, celebrating their 140th year selling quality carpets to the people of the North-East. Karpet Mills have started the year positively, with the launch of new and exciting store in Hexham, Northumberland. The new venture marks a return to the family roots for the owners of Karpet Mills, with the family business starting in the Tyne Valley region in 1878. “We are very excited to have launched the new store in Hexham” says Karpet Mills director Conrad Dickinson. He goes on to add “Hexham is the family home, and where it all began for the Dickinson family, so we are thrilled to have the opportunity to expand and grow the business”. In addition to the new store launch in Hexham, Karpet Mills have also heavily invested in renovating their store in Hetton-le-Hole, which, when complete, will allow increased stock capacity, meaning even more bargains and deals for its customers, as well as improving the overall appearance of the store. With stores in Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland and now Hexham, the 6th generation family run business is able to offer even more quality carpet and flooring deals. “We offer consistently high-quality products at consistently low prices. Recent growth of our business has significantly boosted our buying power. We source ‘A-Grade’ stock from across Europe and buy in bulk to pass the savings directly to our customers” these are the words of Joel Dickinson, Operations Director of Karpet Mills, the North East’s biggest stockist of quality carpets. He adds, “We are able to sell famous branded products at prices not normally seen by the general public. We sell Axminsters, heavy weight 80/20 wool twists and stainfree saxonies to our customers at better than wholesale cost.” Karpet Mills have recently launched their 140th Birthday Price Crash Event at all its stores, with huge savings available across all ranges, including carpets, remnants, vinyl, laminate and rugs. Karpet Mills combines the experience gleaned from over a century trading with the modern day expectations of quality and service to provide the full package for every customer. The new Hexham branch will follow the pattern set by the Kingston Park, Hetton-Le-Hole & Gateshead branches and trade 7 days a week. Visit Karpet Mills, at Market Street, Hetton-Le-Hole (only 10 minutes from Sunderland and Durham), Airport Industrial Estate, Kingston Park, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne Bridge Retail Park Gateshead (next to Matalan) and the NEW Hexham branch, located at Gilesgate Hexham (less than 5 minutes from Tesco).
