Description
Join us on Wednesday 15th April, where Peter Ellse from Cosy Direct is joining us as our Inspiring Interview feature.
Cosy Direct is one of Derbyshire’s most exciting business success stories. Over the past six years, this hyper-growth company has tripled in size, creating 130 jobs directly and supporting a further 260 roles in the supply chain. Today, Cosy designs and supplies products to early years settings across the world, reaching over 50 countries.
But what makes Cosy truly exciting isn’t just the growth, it’s the purpose behind it.
Peter and the Cosy team are building a values-led business based on four core “home bases” that shape everything they do:
✅ Sustainability (environment and social value)
✅ A home for all people (inclusion and culture)
✅ R&D innovation (product and technology)
✅ Globalising a human-scale business (growing without losing identity)
In this relaxed, informal interview, we’ll explore the journey behind Cosy’s growth and what it really takes to scale while staying true to your values and your people.
