Furniture manufacturer goes global with Sydney premises

Luxus Home and Garden has secured new premises in Sydney, Australia, and plans to double its workforce in 2025 as it expands internationally.

Based in Stratford-upon-Avon, the company started from just selling sustainable teak outdoor furniture.

The firm now designs and manufactures teak dining sets, outdoor sofas, benches, and sun loungers, and it is adding its own sustainable indoor furniture, including dining sets, sideboards, bedside cabinets, and chests of drawers.

Luxus has continued to grow and is now working with Coventry and Warwickshire Growth Hub to support its global expansion. With this support, Luxus is now set to start trading in Australia.

The firm is planning on recruiting more delivery drivers, designers, marketers and customer service representatives in 2025.

Matthew Lock said: “We’re very proud of our company and what we have achieved so far. We have exceptional quality furniture and great customer service along with fast logistics, enabling us to deliver all over the UK, Ireland, Europe, and now Australia making us a global brand, and market leaders in our sector.

“This year has been especially tough, getting everything in place for our Australian expansion, but we are pleased to announce that we are launching this month, at the start of the Australian summertime.”

Nina Bale, account manager at Coventry and Warwickshire Growth Hub, said: “Selling goods in Europe or further afield in Australia is not as difficult as it may initially appear with the right support and guidance.

“Trading overseas is possible for SMEs as Luxus Home and Garden is proving with the right help to overcome the complexities of the administration involved. We are here at the Growth Hub to steer businesses to the experts who can help to expand companies into new markets, wherever they may be.”
