Furnishings business expands with new warehouse

Chesterfield-based soft furnishings and home décor online business Ellenvale Interiors has expanded with a new warehouse.

Ellenvale Interiors Ltd. was founded in 2021 by Annie Johnson, who first ran the business from her spare room, and then a shed which she had built in her garden. The business sells its products online, having gained an impressive 27.8k followers on Instagram.

As Ellenvale Interiors continued to expand, Annie decided to move into a warehouse in Sheepbridge. However the business continued to grow over the next ten months, meaning Ellenvale took on the second premises, next door to their existing one, to meet demand.

Continuing the momentum, Ellenvale has now moved into another Sheepbridge premises five time larger. The company also boasts five full-time members of staff.

Annie commented: “My ambitions are now to make the company a household name, get the brand in some large retailers and also continue to provide a happy and thriving work environment for my staff.

“Me and my partner are taking our first trip to China in 2025 to develop more ranges and look into expanding into bedding and curtains. We are also going to start looking into making our cushion inserts in house which will provide further job opportunities.

“We love working in Chesterfield, its affordable and everyone around us is super friendly making it the best place for our business to thrive.”

Ryan Wilkes, Destination Chesterfield Board Member congratulated the company on its latest expansion, saying: “It’s fantastic to see the entrepreneurial spirit being displayed by Ellenvale Interiors, culminating in this resounding success.

“The business is yet another example of a company which has been able to start-up, innovate and grow in our town – helping to grow our economy and create jobs. We wish Annie every success as she continues to grow.”
