Press
Release Body: Pine Solutions, the leading online
furniture specialist, has been named the 86th fastest growing
business in the UK by the Sunday Times in its Fast Track
100, a list of the most rapidly growing businesses in
the UK.
Pine
Solutions, which is based in Norwich, has seen a
350% growth in the business over the last three years, thanks
to a sharp rise in the online purchasing of furniture. The company
now handles over 2000 orders a month to homes across the UK.
"Three
years a go we had six employees and a turnover of £1.8 million.
Since then our sales have grown an average of 58% a year and our
2008 turnover reached £7.2 million," said Kevin
Johnson, Managing Director of Pine Solutions. "The
growth has been both challenging and very exciting, but we have
successfully stayed ahead of our competitors by cornering a niche
in the market."
He
continued; "A massive growth area for the business has
undoubtedly been oak
furniture, as we were the first company to sell a large range
of (this type of furniture) online. This enabled us to become
very competitive in the top quality furniture market and broaden
our customer base."
The
placement on the Sunday Times Fast Track 100 list is
considered a real indicator for some of the 'companies to watch'.
Last year's list included Innocent Drinks, Gü chocolate pudding,
Silver Cross prams and Tyrrells Potato Chips.
