Kitchen retail giant Wren managed to achieve a colossal turnover of more than one billion pounds in 2025, with the company seeing its second-highest sales figures ever last year.

In its end-of-year results for 2025, Wren reported generating a staggering £1.005bn, marking an increase of roughly £87m over 2024’s sales.

The retailer also made just over £510m in gross profits in 2025 alone, which is again a year-on-year increase of £39m. This resulted in a net profit for the year of £79.9m, a monumental 51% increase over 2024’s profits of £52.8m.

Despite the increase, Wren’s directors acknowledged that the cost of materials, labour and energy have all risen sharply over the last year. To help manage this, the company says it has “taken action wherever possible” to mitigate increases through either the introduction of new more efficient processes, or through strict cost control.

Wren’s directors say they have been aided by what they call “the vertically integrated nature of the business”, which when combined with the company’s manufacturing processes, means it is “better able to cope with cost pressures than many competitors”.

Part of Wren’s growth strategy in recent years has been to open what it calls “duplicate, physically separated plants” for manufacturing, which it believes offers its company and customers far greater protection against unforeseen events than if it was only operating out of a single factory. While Wren acknowledged it had “been experiencing some inefficiencies due to absorbing the additional costs of operating and maintaining such substantial capacity”, the retailer says these inefficiencies are now beginning to diminish, and confirmed that much of its planned heavy investment into manufacturing was now complete.

In its latest results, Wren also celebrated the success of its bedroom retail offering, which it first announced back in 2023. After establishing a separate manufacturing site for bedroom furniture in 2024, Wren said it expected 2025 to be a period for “setting the foundations and introducing our market leading product range to the market”. Instead, Wren says the category grew “at an unprecedented rate”, even despite “very limited advertising”, and says it expects this momentum to continue throughout 2026.

Wren also said 2025 saw it accelerate the development of its contract and social housing division. While not specifically referred to by name in this latest report, a significant amount of this future acceleration will likely come from Wren Contract Kitchens’ recent acquisition of Moores Furniture Group’s clients and certain assets via a pre-pack deal, after the long-standing Yorkshire furniture company collapsed into administration in January of this year.

As of the end of 2025, Wren confirmed it operated a total of 124 showrooms across the UK. While the retailer admitted that this number is around half that of some of its competitors, it said this also “provides a substantial opportunity for the future”.

2025 also saw Wren open its first small format showroom, which the company celebrated as a successful format, saying this has helped prove that the retailer does not need to “operate exclusively from  retail parks”. As a result, Wren has confirmed it is now “actively looking for similar locations”. In fact, Wren says it has already committed to new locations for 2026, and that it expects its number of showroom openings to increase going forwards.

“We are pleased with the strong results achieved over the past year in what remains a subdued market,” commented Mark Pullan, Wren Kitchens CEO. “These results reflect the hard work and dedication of our teams across the business. We are beginning to see the early benefits of our investment in the new factory, which is enhancing both capacity and efficiency, while continued investment across our operations – including the transition to electric HGVs – is helping to improve resilience, support fuel cost stability and reduce our environmental impact.

“Encouragingly, the market growth experienced last year has carried through into the first quarter. While we remain mindful of potential uncertainties arising from the geopolitical situation, we are confident in the strength of our business and will be accelerating our new store rollout programme over the year.”

In related news, Wren confirmed today it would be pulling out of the US market entirely and closing its showrooms across the entire United States of America. This follows the retailer achieving £16.2m in turnover in the US in its 2025 financial results, marking a significant 30% decrease in sales compared to 2024’s figure of £23.2m.
