The Deluxe Group

What The Deluxe Group does

The Deluxe Group is a privately owned, family-run bespoke joinery and fit-out specialist founded in 1969 in Portadown, Northern Ireland by Colum O'Farrell (Snr) and now led by Executive Chairman Colm O'Farrell (Jr). The company delivers end-to-end interior solutions across six primary verticals: Themed Entertainment, Hospitality & Leisure, Marine/Cruise Lines, Luxury Residential, Workplace, and Heritage & Culture. Its core products and services comprise Bespoke Joinery, Fit-Out & Refurbishment (as main contractor), in-house Design Services using 3D scanning and 3D digital design, Workshop Services from a 120,000 sq ft Portadown facility plus a 40,000 sq ft Antrim workshop, a specialist Composites line (fibreglass, GRG, fire-retardant resins) and a Certifire-audited Custom Fire Door range (Safeguard 30-minute, Fortress 60-minute). Manufacturing is anchored by a 5-axis CNC robotic processing centre and solid surfacing equipment, and the company is vertically integrated from design through fabrication to installation.

The business operates an enterprise, project-based revenue model with no public pricing and no channel partners; work is won via competitive tendering and direct client relationships, then delivered as one-off, high-value contracts. GTM is direct enterprise field sales targeting globally recognised brand clients, and the customer list includes Universal Studios, Disneyland Paris, Motiongate Dubai, Marella Cruises, Johnnie Walker (Diageo), Raffles Hotels (OWO/Hinduja), PwC, Visa, Berkeley Homes, McAleer & Rushe, Cambridge Central Mosque and Tottenham Hotspur FC. The company has scaled internationally, opening a wholly-owned US subsidiary in Orlando, Florida in 2023, and reports a 575% increase in overseas revenue with exports rising from 11% to 56% of total turnover, alongside nearly 40% overall turnover growth over the three-year period recognised by the 2025 King's Award for Enterprise in International Trade.

The Deluxe Group holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, FSC chain-of-custody, Certifire and BREEAM Excellent credentials, and operates a paperless, solar-and-LED powered production base. The workforce of 160+ includes apprentices and students recruited via Ulster University and Southern Regional College, and the company is supported in overseas market development by Invest Northern Ireland, the UK Department of Business and Trade and the Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce. Strategic positioning is that of a high-craft, design-and-build partner for IP-led and brand-led interiors in the global themed entertainment, luxury hospitality, cruise and super-prime residential markets.
