The Cotswold Company has reported that sales jumped by 23% to a “record” £123m for the 52-week period ended 28 February. 

It comes as the digitally-led furniture retailer outpaced the wider home and furniture market, which grew by 4.7% during the same period. 

In addition, active customer numbers of The Cotswold Company rose 19% following the introduction of contemporary product ranges and a new AI search tool.

The group also revealed that its EBITDA rose by 42% to £13m, thanks to a gross order margin improvement of nearly 2% compared with 2025. 

During the period, The Cotswold Company opened three showrooms in Harpenden, Knutsford and Chichester, followed by further openings in Kingston and Redbrick. 

Other capital investments included an 80,000 sq ft distribution centre in Lichfield, a London delivery hub in Stansted, and 30 delivery vehicles.

Ralph Tucker, chief executive of The Cotswold Company, said: “As consumers take a more considered view over their purchases, our proposition – centred on high-quality, made-to-last furniture that has been made to last generations – has never been more relevant. 

“Combining this shift with the strength of our brand and the completion of several strategic initiatives, we have continued our strong momentum with another period of record growth in which we’ve significantly outperformed the broader homeware and furniture market.”
