[6] In 2013, Hunter Douglas purchased a minority stake in 247 Home Furnishings Ltd (247), which they did not make known to the Competitions and Markets Authority (CMA).

At a later date in 2016, Hunter Douglas purchased a majority share in Blinds2Go which is by far the largest UK retailer of made-to-measure blinds.

At this point, Hunter Douglas already owned a significant share of the market before purchasing a majority stake of 51% for 247 in 2019.

As a result of concerns around competition in the market, Hunter Douglas was forced to sell their 51% purchase of shares from 2019.

[11] In October 2023, Hunter Douglas fully acquired Select Blinds- a leading US e-commerce blinds retailer.
