Card Factory

History of Card Factory

Card Factory was founded in 1997 by Dean Hoyle and his wife Janet. The company started with a single store in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, with the simple aim of providing quality cards and gifts at affordable prices. The business quickly grew, and by 2005, Card Factory had opened 50 stores across the UK. In 2010, the private equity firm Charterhouse purchased the company, and under their ownership, the company continued to expand its reach. Today, Card Factory is a well-known brand in the UK with over 1000 stores and a strong online presence.
