We liken ourselves to a mini version of The Hut Group, but that doesn’t mean we’re small in terms of sales or revenue. Our figures speak for themselves, and we’re not stopping there as we will push to see our sales exceed £20million for the next financial year.
“Being recognised as one of The Sunday Times top 100 companies is a great accolade for us, and recognises our growth and how far we’ve come since we began in 2018. We’re also pleased to see other North West companies climbing in the list too, and to see that retail and e-commerce continues to thrive and see substantial sales and revenue. For us, we have three great brands performing well and we can’t wait to see them continue to grow.
“Who knows, maybe next year we can push up to be in the top 10 companies in the list!”
