Following five years of continuous growth for Co Tyrone bed manufacturer, DFI Beds, the company has committed to further growth and expansion by investing £500,000 in the business and the creation of a further five roles.
Based outside Coalisland and headed up by MD Brian McCann (pictured), DFI Beds plans to invest £500,000 in new machinery and in its GB expansion, which is scheduled for this autumn.
The investment includes a mattress roll-pack machine for the production of mattress toppers, which it says are increasingly popular with customers across the UK and Ireland. More compact in size, the development of DFI Toppers will enable to business to expand its operations across the UK.
Established in 2019, DFI Beds has grown consistently YoY by expanding its product range for consumers, working with hospitality and accommodation providers, and establishing a successful B2B offering in which it provides beds and mattresses to many leading names across Ireland.
Brian comments: “In just five years, we have manufactured and sold 75,000 mattresses and 65,000 beds to customers across Ireland. We have thousands of five-star Trustpilot reviews, and this success has given us the confidence to further invest in the business and expand to Great Britain.
“DFI Toppers is a new strand of the business. We have confidence in our product and manufacturing processes, we have the right people in place, and we’re well positioned to build the DFI Beds brand across the UK.”
DFI Beds employs 30 people across its manufacturing base and two showrooms in Newry and Dungannon. The business offers guaranteed free delivery within seven days, and in 2022, DFI Beds partnered with brand ambassador Erin McGregor to launch the Imperfection Collection by Erin McGregor range.
As part of its growth plan, DFI Beds has undergone a rebrand, combining all elements of its business – DFI Beds, DFI Toppers, and DFI Contracts – under one brand.
