Made.com

Made.com was a British e-commerce company based in London that designed and sold furniture and home accessories online.

The company was founded in 2010 by serial entrepreneur Ning Li and Brent Hoberman, together with Julien Callède and Chloe Macintosh.

In the same month Philippe Chainieux, formerly CEO of Meetic/ Match.com Europe, was appointed as managing director[11] and Made.com aired its first TV ad in the UK, Great Design Direct From The Makers.

[13] In December 2013, Made.com co-founder and former CEO, Ning Li, accompanied the prime minister, David Cameron, and other UK business delegates on a major trade trip to China.

[16] In January 2017, founder Ning Li announced that he would be stepping down as chief executive of the company, but would remain involved as vice chairman of the board.

[18] In May 2021, Made.com announced plans to list on the London Stock Exchange and raise approximately £100 million by selling new shares.

In October 2022, Made.com stopped taking any new orders after the talks for finding a new buyer failed, which led the company to the brink of collapse.
