I have been in bed retail for 28 years since I left school and learnt the trade working with my father (now retired) and we established "The Bed Guru" in 1994.
Since that start with just the two of us we have built to a full time staff of four and one person working part time.


“ I joined BNI over 4 years ago, have to say I'd ever heard of a network organisation and when invited by a friend I wondered what to expect, little did I realise I much it would change my life. How? Well I joined as a salesman who sold beds locally in and around Leeds and our customers came back time and again whilst referring us to their friends, family and colleagues. BNI has assisted me to build on this to a nationwide and International company, you'd be surprised how many ex pats or overseas property owners buy here and we ship to their villas and apartments.
Meeting with the professional team every week that is Network Central has enabled my company to develop in ways I never thought possible, web site for internet sales, marketing and business development, outsourcing of warehousing and deliveries and retailing to bulk buyers in hotels, Bed and breakfasts and large student accommodations nationwide. The best referral I received so far was over 1700 mattresses and which led to hundreds more from the same company, all from a single BNI referral”
