Wholesaler secures warehouse space to meet rising demand
Aspire Furniture, a wholesaler specialising in beds, mattresses, and bedroom furniture, has signed a three-year lease on a 56,400 sq ft warehouse in Leeds.
Owned and managed by commercial and industrial property specialist Towngate PLC, the new facility will significantly expand Aspire’s storage capacity and streamline its growing operations.
The news comes just one year after the business secured a £500,000 trade loan from NatWest to extend its established UK footprint overseas.
Aspire has reported near-constant growth over the past decade, evolving from a small operation in a spare bedroom to a multi-channel business with an annual turnover of approximately £22m and more than 100 employees.
The new, Towngate PLC-owned facility will play a central role in supporting the business’s sales, providing the infrastructure and resources needed to meet rising demand.
Ben Dobson, operations director at Aspire Furniture Ltd, said: “We are thrilled to be moving to Copperworks 2.
“This milestone is a significant step forward for Aspire, enabling us to expand our operations and enhance our warehousing capacity to support the next stage of our growth – particularly in the e-commerce market, where we’re constantly innovating and investing to offer an even better experience in the online furniture market.
“Being based so close to our manufacturing facility is ideal for us in terms of efficiency and logistics too, allowing us to enhance the quality and customer service we’re already so renowned for.
“We’re excited about the opportunities this new facility presents and look forward to becoming part of the community here.”
Tom Lamb, property director at Towngate PLC, added: “As one of the region’s most recognised industrial locations, our Copperworks site is proudly positioned within our specialist property portfolio.
“The unit is located in the heart of Yorkshire’s motorway network, just minutes from Leeds City Centre and nearby railway links, and offers excellent connectivity to surrounding cities such as Bradford, Doncaster, Sheffield, Manchester, and Liverpool, making it an ideal base for thriving businesses like Aspire.
“With ample storage, loading, and distribution facilities, the site is perfectly suited to support the company’s expanding stock levels and both direct-to-consumer and wholesale operations.”
