We know from our own experience within the franchise sector, that becoming a mattress retailer is not top of mind for many people when looking into investing in a business of their own.

Mark Buckley, CFO of Sleepy's has more than a bit to say about this. He spoke with us about the types of people that have invested into the franchise system. It shows that people from all sorts of backgrounds have joined the business to tap into the training and support that comes with an established brand in the market.

Everyone from an Airforce mechanic / aircraft engineer, to a beauty therapist, an ex-business manager and more. The business attracts a variety of people from differing backgrounds becoming bedding retailers.
