Revenues grew 63% last year to £43m, and international sales currently represent 30% of turnover with management targeting 50% in the near future. Made was launched in the UK in April 2010 by Ning Li alongside Brent Hoberman, Julien Callede and Chloe Macintosh; the founders still retain a majority stake.
