Duvet Pillow & Linen Co relocates to Salford with seven-figure funding

Duvet Pillow & Linen Co has moved to a new Greater Manchester facility with seven-figure funding from the Royal Bank of Scotland.

The company, a manufacturer and distributor of duvets, pillows and mattress protectors, relocated its operations to Salford from Red Bank in Manchester to accommodate future expansion.

The 95,600 sq ft property, located on Astor Road, now houses the firm’s 33-strong team and includes manufacturing and warehouse facilities along with office space.

Duvet Pillow & Linen Co is owned by Amer Khan with his wife Ayesha Khan and mother Shahnaz Khan, who together have more than 50 years’ experience in the textiles and retail sectors.

Following the move, the £7m-turnover business is expecting sales to rise by 40% in the next two years.

Director Amer Khan said: “We are really pleased with our new premises. The growth we have achieved during the last eight years had meant that we had well outgrown our previous base and were struggling to accommodate further growth.

“The new facility has provided us with plenty of additional capacity which has enabled us to improve our production efficiencies and increase the number of contracts we can fulfil.”

He continued: “Duvet Pillow and Linen Co has a bright future and the relocation plays a key role in aiding us to achieve our corporate objectives. It will enable us to continue to grow in a steady and sustainable manner, providing plenty of space for future growth.”

RBS relationship director Robert Taylor commented: “From my first meeting with Amer I could see his entrepreneurial spirit and aspirations to grow the company.

“I am delighted to provide funding which has helped with Duvet Pillow and Linen Co’s expansion strategy.”

He added: “The new premises is impressive and offers plenty of scope for future growth due to the increased capacity and the potential for future job creation.”
