Description
Craig Turner is one of two brothers behind The Comfort Group, a fourth generation kiwi business, which is now Australasia’s largest bedding and foam manufacturer with some of our best known brands, Sleepyhead, SleepMaker and Dunlop Foams. After nine decades based in Auckland, the company has chosen the Waikato as its new home. Join us to hear from Craig Turner about the unique vision and plans behind the company’s $1.2 billion Sleepyhead Estate development at Ohinewai, which will create a 178-hectare manufacturing hub and residential community bringing up to 2,600 jobs and 1,100 new homes to our region over the next 10 years. This event will be an opportunity for those attending to meet Craig Turner, learn about one of New Zealand’s manufacturing successes and the opportunities the next chapter of the Sleepyhead story will create in the Waikato.
This event is kindly sponsored by Wintec.
