Stated within its report, the company said that its turnaround strategy continues to prioritise revenue growth and profitability, which has also seen a significant cost and operation review continues to prove successful at reducing costs.

“Despite an initial downturn during the first Covid lockdown, when showrooms were closed, revenue has significantly increased as demand for furniture in the UK grows. For 2023, we expect revenue to increase and for the company to continue its profitability,” the business added.
