Chairman and chief executive of Carpetright, Lord Harris of Peckham, poses for photos in his company's cutting, warehousing and distribution headquarters in Purfleet, southern England May 13, 2009. The head of Britain's biggest carpet seller, Carpetright Plc, thinks industry sales have probably dropped 30 percent year-on-year, but have reached the bottom. "I think we've been at the bottom for three months and I think it's been bumping along at the bottom," Philip Harris, chairman and chief executive of the 692-store group and a 51-year veteran of carpet selling, told Reuters.
