Harrison Spinks has invested ‘a significant six-figure’ strengthening its presence in the US.
It has opened a distribution centre in Los Angeles, its first in North America, which will cut lead times from three months to a fortnight.
Two years after it began selling in the US, the move will allow for an upgraded US stocking programme which will hold its Euston (pictured), Northumberland, Leicester and Strand mattresses, luxury enhancers and divan beds.
‘When we launched into the North American market our aim was to grow and expand across the country. Now we have achieved growth and brand awareness, we’re doubling-down on distribution times so that our US customers can enjoy a better night’s sleep much faster than before. This facility is incredibly significant within our business plan, as it ensures our brand is much stronger within the country and more competitive, as customers can now have premium comfort with less wait times,’ says Scott Hollis, Harrison Spinks North America sales manager.
‘It also greatly benefits our stockists along the west coast of the United States, as we can now offer our beds to them with an extremely competitive lead time. We have plans to open more distribution centres as we continue to grow our independent retailer offering within the USA and Canada.’
