‘Bricks and clicks’ bed retailer, Bedkingdom whose flagship showroom is based in Heckmondwike, has risen early from the economic pressures of the pandemic to record a 50% leap in year-on-year revenue, taking its turnover to more than £15m.
This huge increase over just 12 months, is another landmark in the company’s steep growth trajectory, which has seen its turnover inflate from just £2m only five years ago and keeps it well on track to achieve its ambition of a £20m turnover before the end of 2023.
Bed Kingdom is using this growth success to invest strongly in its people, both through recruitment and professional development. Over the last year the company has tripled its number of employees to 30, across all facets of the business. New internal promotions and staff hires brought on board are giving the retailer the boost it seeks to enable it to develop new, previously unexplored avenues.
Bed Kingdom founder and managing director, Ashley Hainsworth said: “We’re incredibly proud of the way our business is growing and developing and delighted to see families coming to small businesses like ours to rejuvenate and improve their home and give them a great night’s sleep.”
