Homeware retailer Nkuku saw a double-digit increase in sales in the last quarter.
Turnover at the £19m chain jumped by 18% between October and December.
The chain says that it was able to reach its highest number of customers alongside higher average basket values as it saw improved customer loyalty, continued new customer acquisition and strong reactivation of previously lapsed customers.
‘Trade sales saw robust growth, supported by aligned brand partnerships including John Lewis. The period also saw strategic progress across the channel mix, including launches with Next, the opening of Nkuku at Redbrick, and the introduction of an interior design service at the Devon flagship store. Social engagement increased over 50%, driven by storytelling focused on craftsmanship, sustainability and the people behind Nkuku’s products,’ it says.
‘Delivering a third consecutive year of strong peak growth in a challenging consumer environment reflects both the strength of our proposition and the dedication of our team and partners. Customers continue to respond to products that are not only beautifully designed but made with integrity. Looking ahead to 2026, while market conditions remain uncertain, we are confident that our commitment to natural materials, responsible production and consciously crafted design will continue to underpin sustainable, long-term growth,’ says James Lowe, Nkuku ceo.
