Dunelm: From Market Stall Beginnings to Homeware Leader

Dunelm’s journey began in 1979 when Bill and Jean Adderley started selling second-hand curtains, bedding, and slippers at Leicester Market. Their success quickly led to the opening of their first high street store, followed by rapid expansion throughout the 1980s and 1990s — including the launch of the first Dunelm Mill superstore and the introduction of a dedicated head office and manufacturing facilities. With a commitment to quality and craftsmanship, the brand’s Made To Measure service was born, cementing its reputation for bespoke, customer-focused home solutions.

The 2000s marked a new era as Dunelm embraced digital innovation, launching a shoppable website, introducing Click & Collect, and acquiring the prestigious Dorma brand. Even during challenging times, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the company remained dedicated to supporting its community — producing tens of thousands of gowns and face coverings for the NHS. Today, with over 180 stores nationwide and a thriving online presence, Dunelm continues to grow while staying true to its roots. Focused on sustainability, innovation, and exceptional customer experience, Dunelm is committed to helping every home feel truly like home — now and for generations to come.
