Lazy Susan was founded in a garden shed and through exceptional customer service, superior products and the passion of our team we have become the market leader in metal garden furniture in the UK and have added five other European territories. It didn’t take long to move on from that shed.
Last year our turnover reached over £13M and we completed our first full year in our new offices in central Southsea. We also set up our subsidiary EU company based in the Netherlands, from where we are servicing a growing market in the EU.
We are restless and ambitious and 2022 sees us embarking on the next phase of development which will see the opening of our new distribution centre in Eastleigh, Southampton. We remain laser focused on digital and recognise that now is a key point of opportunity to develop the brand and the business. You can tell a lot about our values by looking at the “Do Some Good” campaign on our website. Ten percent of annual profits is donated to charity and ten percent is distributed to staff.
