Comfizone Aims To Double Its Turnover

A Coalisland company that specialises in mattresses and bedding products is aiming to double its turnover in an expansion supported by Invest Northern Ireland.

Comfizone is creating nine new jobs and undertaking extensive marketing activity to grow its export sales across Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland.

Invest Northern Ireland has offered Comfizone £60,125 of support towards this investment.

Peter Bradley, Director and co-founder of Comfizone, said: "This is an exciting step for us, which will see our workforce almost triple. Since the company was set up four years ago we've achieved significant year-on-year growth.

"Over the last 12 months we've invested significantly in expanding our premises at Washingbay as well as investing in new machinery. This investment has enabled us to increase production capacity to meet the rising demand for our products.

"We are now embarking on a marketing campaign to extend our export reach and in particular target hotels and care homes. That will involve developing our brand, creating a website and marketing literature, and attending relevant trade shows.

"The nine new jobs, which include a production manager, production supervisor, logistics co-ordinator, office administrator and five production operatives, will give us the capacity and structure to handle a bigger order book."
