The Cotswold Company, the digitally-led premium handcrafted furniture and homeware brand, has reported a growth in sales during the Christmas period.
According to its latest trading update for the 10 weeks from 27 October to 28 December 2025, the company posted continued strong sales of £23.2m, up 17% (+£3.3m) against the comparable prior year period, which saw the Group significantly outperform the wider UK home and furniture market.
Sales of dining room, bedroom and upholstery ranges were particularly strong through the period, driven by demand from customers getting ready for Christmas.
During the period, the business opened its 14th store in Chichester, the brand’s first retail park concept which is trading ahead of expectations, and has broadened its portfolio of store formats.
Furthermore, the new Lichfield distribution centre is now fully operational and it has opened a new delivery hub in Stanstead.
Ralph Tucker, Chief Executive Officer of The Cotswold Company said, “I’d like to begin by thanking everyone at The Cotswold Company for their dedication and hard work over recent months. The expertise and perseverance of our teams have been fundamental to delivering another fantastic Christmas trading period – one in which we significantly outperformed the home and furniture sector once again.
“The shift towards timeless, high quality and made-to-last furniture continues to go from strength to strength. At The Cotswold Company, we are embracing this shift with a broader range of products that add character and charm to each corner of the home, and we’re delighted more have chosen us this Christmas.
“In addition to delivering strong trading performance during the Christmas period, we have continued to invest to support our long-term ambition to become UK’s leading and most loved premium handcrafted homeware brand. This includes new showroom openings with our newest showroom in Chichester, which opened just before Christmas, performing ahead of expectations and providing an opportunity to further push the extension and application of our brand.
“The growth delivered this Christmas sets the stage for another exciting year for The Cotswold Company. Underpinned by our highly relevant customer proposition, strong brand, and omni channel model, we plan to continue expanding our UK portfolio of showrooms, make further investments in geo-targeted marketing to drive customer footfall, and bring more timeless and unique items for homes across the country. These initiatives will enable us to achieve further growth and take another step closer to becoming the UK’s leading and most loved premium homeware brand.”
