The UK's market leading search and comparison platform for home furniture and furnishings, ufurnish.com, has appointed current investor, Ronan Dunne, the former CEO of O2 UK and Verizon Consumer Group, as chairman, to steer its next phase of growth.
The platform has seen impressive growth since launching in 2019, growing to over 5 million users and scaling MoM. Founded by technology entrepreneurs Deirdre Mc Gettrick and Ray Wright, the company is driving AI-led innovation in the way consumers connect with retailers and products available in the market to help furnish their homes.
Ronan took over from retiring chairman Pat McCann this month.
Ronan says: "Having spent most of my career harnessing technology to deliver outstanding customer experiences at scale, I am delighted to join ufurnish.com at such a pivotal time for the business. The co-founders, Deirdre and Ray, have built a fantastic technology platform that is truly innovating furniture search for consumers. I am really looking forward to working with this great team and helping deliver the full potential of what ufurnish.com can achieve."
Pat remarks: “I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved at ufurnish.com over the past four years. Our business has gone from strength to strength and it’s a perfect time for Ronan to take the reigns and support the company’s next phase of growth.”
Deirdre says: “We will be forever grateful to Pat for all he has brought to our company. His stewardship and guidance have helped us achieve so much since joining as our inaugural chairman. Pat passes the baton to Ronan at an exciting time for our business, and we are thrilled to welcome Ronan as chairman.”
