Wall-to-wall growth for interiors firm

LIVERPOOL-based interiors company Milexa ends the year with 60% year on year sales growth from £795,000 to £1.3m as its wallpaper mural brand continues its rapid rise within the wallpaper market.

November saw the company’s largest ever sales figures, up 85% from the same month in 2015.

The workforce at Milexa has grown from just six to 16 people over the last 12 months and the company says it plans to continue to hire top talent from the North West in 2017.

Founder and managing director Richard Wilde said: “We’re committed to constant innovation and development and have the aim to become the UK’s leading wallpaper mural brand in the coming year.

“To move forward with this goal and plans for the future, we will be largely focusing on recruiting top talent in the North West.”

Milexa was founded in 2010 by Business graduate Wilde. He moved to Liverpool from Lincolnshire after attending a Liverpool John Moore’s course for start-up businesses, recognising the city’s creative culture and progressive talent.

Milexa’s core brand is Murals Wallpaper which designs and manufactures custom wallpaper murals in its Liverpool-based studio and factory.
