An experienced carpet salesman is welcoming customers old and new to his brand new venture, Carpets 2 U.
Matthew Featherstone will be a well-known face to many people locally, having worked at Floorcraft in Holbeach for eight years.
The 25-year-old was made redundant when Floorcraft closed down in January, but rather than become another unemployment statistic, Matthew decided to stay with the industry he loves and launch his very own carpet business in Pinchbeck.
His showroom opened its doors earlier this month on Cresswell Street, just behind Morrisons, and to celebrate he is offering all customers free carpet fitting until June 1.
Carpets 2 U offers carpets for all budgets, from cheap bedroom and rentals to top quality wool twists and thick pile carpets for lounges, halls, stairs and landings.
Matthew also offers a free measuring and estimation service, and prides himself on giving customers good honest advice with no pushy sales talk.
“It is repeat sales from customers who trust you and come back to you again that keep businesses like mine going, so it’s essential you offer them the complete package, including a good price, great fitting and great after-sales service too,” he said.
“Hopefully some of my old customers from Floorcraft who used to ask for me to help them will recognise me and want to come and give my new business a try. I’m also looking forward to welcoming new customers too.”
Customers aged 55 and over can also take advantage of Discount Wednesdays – with an extra ten per cent off everything in store every Wednesday for anyone 55 and over. Just bring proof of age.
The showroom, which has free parking, is open 9.30am to 5pm Monday to Friday and 9.30am to 4pm on Saturdays.
