Founder Andrew Wright was 21 years old when he set up this online retailer in 2009 from his parents’ dining room, with £2,000 in savings. The business started selling kitchen goods from big-name manufacturers but launched its own brand, Cookology, in 2014. The Suffolk-based company sells its range of ovens, fridges, wine and beverage coolers, BBQ’s and other kitchen appliances on its website and on other ecommerce platforms. In 2021, The Wright Buy posted a 61% rise in sales to £23.2m, boosted by online demand for home appliances during the pandemic.
