Bed group looks abroad as its rapid growth is recognised

Flair Furniture, the West Yorkshire group behind Bed Kingdom, Flair Beds, Recoil Gaming and others, has been named among the UK's fastest-growing private companies in the FEBE Growth 100, placing 73rd on compound annual growth of 50.64% and sales of £28.1m. 

This recognition follows back-to-back Ward Hadaway Yorkshire Fastest 50 listings (45th in 2024 and 18th in 2025).

"On the back of that growth, we're now preparing our first international moves," says founder and MD, Ashley Hainsworth (pictured), "into the Republic of Ireland, with a longer-term entry into the UAE and the wider Gulf."

The expansion is designed to build on the group’s existing strengths – an ecommerce-led model, three West Yorkshire warehouses and established supply relationships across Europe and Asia – while extending its brands to new audiences.

“Being recognised among the country’s fastest-growing private companies is a tremendous tribute to our team," says Ashley. "We’ve grown by staying close to the customer and investing in the things that matter – range, service and technology. International expansion is the natural next chapter in that story.”
