Poltronesof\u00e0 UK (A Share & Sons, formerly ScS), says its Italian parent group’s vision and strategy have now been fully adopted in the UK, driven by a \u00a360m investment.<\/p>\n
The specialist furniture retailer \u2013 owned by the Poltronesof\u00e0 Group, a leading sofa retailer in Italy, France and across Europe, with 30 years of experience \u2013 has published an update on its performance and progress for the year ended 31st December 2025.<\/p>\n
It says the year saw it continue to execute its development plan to align more closely with the wider Poltronesof\u00e0 Group\u2019s successful business model \u2013 a plan which began following the acquisition of the UK business in January 2024 and included a comprehensive upgrade of showroom fit-out and layout, the roll-out of a refreshed product range offering the \u2018any sofa, any fabric\u2019 proposition aligned to the European business, and a series of upgrades to internal systems and processes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Having refurbished approximately half of the stores in 2024, the company completed the remainder of the estate during 2025, and also opened a new store in Carlisle and relocated its Warrington store.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Across 2024-25, the company\u2019s 97 stores were transformed through an investment of approximately \u00a360m.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“This substantial investment demonstrates the strong commitment of the Poltronesof\u00e0 Group to the UK market,” says Poltronesof\u00e0. “It has materially upgraded the store network and commercial proposition, while strengthening the company\u2019s operational foundations for improved profitability and providing the platform for the next phase of growth.”<\/p>\n
Despite refurbishment-related disruption and temporary store closures, the company grew its order intake by 2.1% to \u00a3267.8m and delivered a gross revenue of \u00a3253.5m (\u00a3253.6m in 2024). Gross margin improved to 49.4% from 47.4%, underpinned by well-received new product launches, the establishment of new relationships with manufacturer partners and general pricing discipline.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“This sourcing improvement, together with ongoing cost control, has also meant the company achieved a materially improved underlying operating result,” states the group. “After adjusting for the impact of temporary store closures and one-off integration costs, the 2025 financial result was close to breakeven.”<\/p>\n
In the first months of 2026, the Poltronesof\u00e0 brand was launched across all 97 stores, completing the strategic plan initiated with the acquisition in early 2024. The company has also secured new locations for three further store openings in 2026 as it builds towards national coverage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
