Dwell, the furniture retailer that collapsed earlier this year, has 'turned a corner' and is expected to make £20 million turnover this year.
Founder Aamir Ahmad apparently left the business in November 2012 but returned to rescue the business months later when it collpased in June. Ahmed continued trading the website and six of the 23 shops.
It has never fully been clarified the reasons for his departure or in what state the business was in when he left. The timing was during the critical Christmas period and January is also seen as crucial to many furniture retailers.
He 'may consider' opening more stores next year, according to the Sunday Express newspaper today.
He is also plotting a chain of Indian restaurants after opening his first, Zumbura, in Clapham. He told the newspaper the quality of Indian food served commercially is 'appalling'.
