Leeds entrepreneurs named in Forbes 30 under 30

Two Leeds entrepreneurs who launched their company only three years ago have made it onto the Forbes 30 under 30 Europe list.

Cousins Declan Christie, 24 and Cameron Christie, 23 have made waves with their Luxury Flooring company, which has been listed in the retail and ecommerce section of the prestigious lists.

Founded in 2013, the online-only company provides a range of flooring and homegoods across the UK and Europe.

Due to rapid expansion, the company moved from their old site in Beeston to new premises in the Cross Gates area of Leeds in October 2016, and according to the founders, the company has gone from “strength to strength”.

Managing director Cameron Christie said: “It’s a real honour to have been included on this list by Forbes, and we’re delighted that our hard work is paying off. We are really excited to have been recognised by some of the leading experts in the retail and ecommerce category.

“We’ve got great ambitions and exciting plans for 2017 and beyond, so to start the year like this is a real boost.”

The pair also feature on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe – Youngest list and the overall rankings include diving partners Jack Laugher and Chris Mears, musician Stormzy and Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner.
