Timeless design, sustainable growth — recognised at FD Gazellen

We’re proud to share: PLEIN PUBLIQUE is an FD Gazelle 2025 – and we’ve claimed the bronze award

Last week, the FD Gazellen Awards brought together the fastest-growing companies in the Netherlands. 

Among the 800+ businesses that made the list, PLEIN PUBLIQUE landed on the podium: 3rd place in our category — and yes, taken home by our all-female team.

For those outside the Netherlands:

'Het Financieele Dagblad' issues the FD Gazellen Awards — essentially the Dutch version of the Financial Times. No jury opinions, no glossy pitches. Just three years of hard metrics: revenue growth (50%), team growth (25%), and profitability (25%). You don’t win this by sounding good, but by being good.

And we’ll admit: that 3rd place feels pretty special.

Not because we chase awards, but because it affirms that our way of building — thoughtful, disciplined, and a little bit stubborn — genuinely works.

We grew…

• By building a brand funded by our own capital
• By choosing value over discount-driven volume
• With timeless designs meant to outlive trends
• With customers who return season after season
• And with a small team that consistently chooses quality over shortcuts

For us, sustainable growth isn’t a slogan. It’s our foundation.
