Specialist international hospitality bed supplier, Hypnos Contract Beds, has opened a new distribution centre, creating 14 new jobs.

The 18,000sq ft unit, situated in Castle Donington, will see approximately 225,000 beds, destined for the European and UK hospitality markets, pass through its doors each year and confirms Hypnos’ plans for continued growth and expansion.

John Woolley, managing director at Hypnos Contract Beds, explained: “We have outgrown our current premises, so we needed a distribution centre which could accommodate our product output now and as we move forward.

“This site is ideal because it offers us the required space in a central UK location and is close to our factory in Castle Donington.”

Hypnos Contract Beds are proud to confirm that not only will the centre provide a larger space for distribution but will also see 14 new jobs created, taking the total number employed there to 38. This is in addition to a fleet of 10 vehicles that will operate from the site.

Further supporting Hypnos’ green credentials, the site will facilitate fewer vehicle movements due to the increased capacity to hold stock and its closer proximity to the production facility.
