The strong performance was attributed to store expansion, effective marketing, and a rise in demand for "made-to-last" furniture. Christmas sales alone surged 22%. The company also saw a 20% rise in active customers and a 45% increase in showroom revenues following the opening of new stores in Stamford and Marlow.
Online sales, now accounting for 78% of total revenue, grew 14%, supporting the company's shift towards a fully omnichannel model. New partnerships with John Lewis and Next were cited as key milestones in expanding brand reach.
CEO Ralph Tucker described the year as a "milestone" and credited the brand's growth to "quality craftsmanship", effective national marketing, and a consumer shift away from "throwaway" furniture. He added that The Cotswold Company is "in a strong position to deliver further significant profitable growth".
The results significantly outpaced the wider home and furniture category, cementing the brand's relevance in a competitive market with a growing emphasis on sustainability and design longevity.
