UK furniture fit-out specialist and turnkey contractor Deanestor has reported an increase in turnover, achieving £25.1m for the 2025 FY, resulting in operating profits of c.£700,000.
Turnover in 2025 rose by £3.2m, up from £21.9m in the previous year, "reflecting continued demand for high-quality fitted furniture and fit-out solutions across the UK construction sector", says Deanestor.
"Projects have been delivered and awarded across a range of key sectors including healthcare, education, student accommodation and build-to-rent. During the period Deanestor completed the design, manufacture and installation of fitted furniture, including bespoke kitchens and specialist joinery, with a high level of repeat business from tier-one contractors and major residential developers."
In Scotland, Deanestor says it continues to perform strongly from its regional HQ in Fife, particularly in the education sector, supporting a growing pipeline of school and further education projects.
CEO William Tonkinson says: “These results reflect strong, sustainable growth across the business and a healthy pipeline of secured and prospective projects. We are well positioned to deliver further progress in the year ahead.
"Our performance is driven by the expertise and commitment of our teams in the East Midlands and Fife, from design and estimating through to manufacturing and on-site delivery. As a turnkey partner, we provide a fully integrated service – managing every stage from concept through to installation and handover, ensuring consistent quality and certainty on programme and cost.”
During 2025, the business invested in a new drilling centre to increase capacity and improve lead times, alongside the implementation of manufacturing analytics software to better understand time loss, improve machine utilisation, balance workloads, reduce energy waste, and drive continuous improvements.
Changes were also made to the factory layout to improve flow and efficiency, creating optimal use of space, while health and safety awareness was further strengthened across operations. All of the above resulting in a 30% increase in manufacturing capacity. Deanestor says it is continuing this programme of investment with the purchase of an edgebander featuring the latest technology.
Deanestor says it is well-positioned to build on this momentum, with continued investment in its product offering and manufacturing capabilities, further strengthening its position as a leading UK furniture fit-out and interiors specialist.
Established in 1948, Deanestor operates from manufacturing and distribution facilities in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, with a further division in Fife supporting projects across Scotland. The business employs 140 people and delivers fully integrated furniture and fit-out solutions for residential, education and healthcare schemes across the UK.
