The new company joined the FTSE 100 on 22 September with a market capitalisation of approximately 4.23 billion. The company has almost 1,300 stores across the UK and Ireland. Carpetright plc is the biggest carpet retailer in the UK with a market share of circa 35% and sells a wide range of carpets, rugs, vinyls and laminates, together with beds.

The individual tenant accounts are as follows: The property benefits from a low site cover of 24% giving the potential for further retail development in the car park. Plans have previously been drawn up for a potential A3/pod unit, which would be positioned at the entrance to the property.
