Furniture and design store Nest has seen a period of fast growth, with six new hires and tripling its warehouse space.

Founded in 2001, the firm now has 26 staff with 450 orders a month going through its Sheffield headquarters.

As part of the firm’s expansion, they re-designed their website and worked with The Sheffield Millennium Gallery Café on a major refurbishment.

Toni Sanderson, marketing & operations director said: “As a growing company we strive to ensure that our offering meets the needs of our customers.”

“As part of this we are always looking to the future to ensure that we continue to deliver excellence as we grow and expand.

“Over the next 12 months we are working towards launching our own dedicated delivery and white glove installation service.

“The service will mean further job creations as well as a fully managed in-house UK delivery service tailored specifically to our customer’s needs.”
