Annaghmore highlights its growth from humble roots to one of the UK and Ireland’s leading furniture wholesalers.
In the fast-paced world of furniture design, import and distribution, longevity is rarely an accident. It is the byproduct of adaptability, an unwavering commitment to quality, and a deep understanding of what turns a house into a home.
For Annaghmore Agencies Ltd, that journey began in 1977 by Terence McKeown. Starting as a modest, family-run business in Portadown, County Armagh, the company set out with a simple but powerful mission: to supply retailers with high-quality, competitively priced furniture, backed by dependable customer service.
Nearly five decades later, Annaghmore has evolved from its humble local roots into one of the UK and Ireland’s premier furniture importers and wholesalers.
A Legacy Built on Family Values and Global Vision….
While the scale of the business has transformed dramatically, Annaghmore remains a proud, family-owned Irish company. This heritage shapes its core philosophy: a steadfast commitment to customer-driven service.
To transition from a local wholesaler to an international importer, the company expanded its horizons, forging long-term partnerships with some of the world’s leading furniture manufacturers. By sourcing globally, Annaghmore has consistently introduced innovative, creative, and market leading designs to the UK and Irish markets.
But how does a company navigate nearly half a century of changing trends, economic shifts, and global supply chain evolutions?
Conor McKeown, Managing Director of Annaghmore explains: “The simple answer lies in building enduring relationships, both with our supply chain partners and our retail partners. We have always believed that our success is inextricably linked to the success of our retail partners.
“By holding extensive stock in our purpose-built distribution facilities, we ensure rapid, reliable delivery. This empowers our retail partners to meet consumer demands with confidence, removing the burden of holding vast inventories themselves.”
Scale, Speed and State-of-the-Art Operations
Today, the scale of Annaghmore’s operations is immense. Operating out of a state-of-the-art, 120,000 square foot purpose-built warehousing facility at their headquarters in County Armagh, the company manages the receipt and distribution of over 600 shipping containers annually.

Looking to the Future
As the industry navigates changing interior trends, Annaghmore continues to adapt. By blending timeless classics with contemporary aesthetics, they ensure retail partners always have access to highly sellable, on-trend stock.
From a small local enterprise in 1977 to a powerhouse wholesaler today, Annaghmore’s success lies in never losing sight of the retailers who supported them from day one. As they look to the future, that partnership remains the cornerstone of everything they do.
