Return to profit & sales growth: Following the investment in the new facility, Furniturebox returned to profitâmaking ÂŁ612,288 in 2024 after a prior yearâs loss. Meanwhile, sales surged by more than 20%, climbing from ~ÂŁ21.33 million in 2023 to ~ÂŁ25.6 million. The move to the new warehouse was a strategic investment that, while initially heavy, has enabled âhuge efficiency savingsâ and faster delivery capability.
Global & product expansion: Furniturebox has expanded internationally: sales in the U.S. nearly tripled, and European sales (outside UK) also doubled. They also launched more than 100 new products, diversifying their portfolio and strengthening their market position.
Operational enhancements & automation: To maximise the benefits of their new space, Furniturebox equipped the warehouse with advanced systems: a fiveâlevel pallet pick tower, a mix of VNA (very narrow aisle) and wideâaisle racking systems, and integrated warehouse equipment (forklifts designed for VNA) supplied via SSI Schaefer and UniCarriers. This layout gives them 5,700 pallet locations and flexibility for growth, while optimising selectivity and safety.
