Homewares retailer Dusk is reportedly appointing advisers ahead of a potential £300m float on the London Stock Exchange.
The retailer is eyeing a public listing as soon as the second half of the year, according to Sky News.
Dusk has reported back-to-back years of record sales and is the UK’s fastest-growing pureplay online homewares and furniture retailer.
Based in Yorkshire, the retailer’s rapid expansion has come without the need for it to raise external capital, and it has managed to build up a two-million-strong base of customers.
For the year ending March 31, 2026, the retailer reported a 28% increase in revenue to £195m, which it said was driven by “strong consumer demand”.
Dusk reported that profitability improved significantly during the second half of the year, following operational improvements, including a £1.5m investment to enhance its logistics and technology infrastructure.
It said that repeat customers now account for 50% of total orders at Dusk, with bedroom furniture its most popular category, growing 159% year-on-year.
The £300m reported market capitalisation would place it roughly on a par with rivals such as DFS Furniture.
Founder Jason Walker reportedly plans to remain a major shareholder should the company go public.
