Ning Li

Ning was born in China, in the city of Foshan, which is the country’s major manufacturing base for furniture. It was the experience of setting up his own flat in Paris that inspired Ning and a business partner to use their connections to help source furniture directly from the factories in China. Aftern having business success with his first business Myfab.com, he met Brent Hoberman of MyDeco and lastminute.com. Together they decided to improve on the Myfab.com model by launching Made.com in the UK in April 2010. Ning Li tells us about his experiences of doing business in the furniture manufacturing industry.
