Cookology, a manufacturer of British designed kitchen appliances, has been ranked among the fastest-growing businesses in the Midlands & East of England in the 2026 UK Fast Growth Index. The company announced on 28 October that it had earned its place after growing its turnover by 109% in two years. It was also named the UK’s fastest-growing kitchen appliance brand.
The UK Fast Growth Index is run by Ideas Community in partnership with UBS. It ranks the UK’s fastest-growing independent businesses by percentage growth in turnover, and in 2026 it includes the top 50 firms in each nation and region.
01Recognition from the Index founder
Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE, founder of the UK Fast Growth Index, said: “Cookology is a great example of the extraordinary talent and ambition we see in businesses across every part of the UK. Earning a place on this year’s Index, alongside firms that have together more than doubled in size in just two years, is a remarkable achievement, and the whole team should be very proud.”
He added: “At a time when we hear so much about the challenges facing the UK economy, businesses like The Wright Buy (Cookology) show what is possible when they are given the chance to grow. The challenge now is to help more of them become those incredible high-growth businesses that make a massive impact across the country.”
02From a kitchen table start
Cookology is the house brand of The Wright Buy, which was founded in 2009 in East London with a vision to provide affordable appliances. The Cookology brand followed in 2014, offering what the company describes as stylish, value-driven products. In 2025, Cookology purchased the Iceking brand from Tewkesbury’s Domestic Appliance Distributors (D.A.D. Ltd), with the aim of strengthening its presence in independent retail and fully integrating Iceking into its staple line of products.
Andrew Wright, founder and owner of Cookology, said: “This success belongs to every single person on our team. In just two years, our level of growth has not only increased our company’s market share but also unlocked economies of scale to offer greater purchasing power and significantly enhance the brands authority among our users.”
Describing the origins of the business, he said: “I first established the business in 2009 from my kitchen table with just £2k in capital.”
He continued: “For Cookology to be recognised among the fastest-growing businesses in the Midlands & East of England is a fantastic achievement, further confirming how our product roadmap and broader company goals are anchoring our presence in the market.”
03Stock and product range
According to the company, Cookology holds more than 175,000 units at any given time, ready to ship throughout the UK. Its range includes induction hobs, fan ovens and fridges, which the company presents as stylish, value-driven products that serve real needs.
