Furniturebox is one of the UK’s fastest growing companies, according to the Sunday Times Hundred 2023
Furniturebox is one of the UK’s fastest growing companies, according to the Sunday Times Hundred 2023.
The Chippenham-based online seller was 59th in the annual list of best performing private companies - achieving sales of £15.9 million last year and 70.96% growth over the last three years.
Monty George, 26, and Daniel Beckles, 25, started the company after leaving Bishop Wordsworth’s grammar school in Salisbury in 2015.
They began selling to the US last summer, then moved to an 88,000 sq ft purpose-built warehouse off the M4 at St Modwen Park, which was funded from retained profits.
The Sunday Times said the company would aim to boost sales further this year by developing new product ranges, including beds, sofas and wardrobes.
George said: “We are delighted to have been featured in the Sunday Times Hundred for the second year running.
“This is down to the fantastic efforts of the team we have assembled and the excellent value for money and customer service we provide.
“This year will be the busiest in our history and it is really exciting to be making progress in the United States.”
Furniturebox employs 53 people at the new headquarters which has transformed its fortunes and speeded up deliveries.
The full Sunday Times Hundred list is online now and in the newspaper on Sunday.
