Dunelm Sale

Dunelm History

Dunlem started life as a Market stall where the founder Bill Adderly and his wife Jean started selling M&S seconds and slippers. By 1984 they had their first bricks and mortar store in Leicester. In 2001 they purchased a curtain manufacturing business and began their bespoke service that is still going strong today.

It wasn’t until 2005 that their fully shoppable website went live. By 2017 they had over 3 million customers visiting their stores and website per week.

In 2019 they celebrated their 40th anniversary of trading. As of Summer 2020 they operate 173 stores throughout the UK.

Black Friday History

Traditionally Dunelm hasn't taken part in Black Friday, its biggest sale being in the summer instead. However, this changed in 2021 where it unveiled discounts of 50% on popular furniture, kitchen and decor. This year black Friday is on 25th November with Cyber Monday being on 28th November. As in other years we’d expect the Black Friday sales event to be spread out over several weeks. With the current rate of inflation it may be better to purchase now rather than waiting however as prices are continuing to rise.

Dunelm share price and investors

In 2006 Duelm was floated on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index. It would have made a great investment, you’d bought £1000 of shares when they floated they would have been worth over £7000 at their peak in 2021.

Dunelms share price peaked in May 2021 at £1474 but has since declined to £714 due to the current economic uncertainty

Dunelm has just named outgoing Whitbread Boss Alison Brittain as its new chair. She will join in September 22 as an independent non-exclusive director and chair designate.

The company's 2022 pretax profit is expected to come in slightly ahead of expectations at 207 million pounds.
