Leading Leeds-based online mattress retailer OTTY Sleep has continued its overseas expansion with the opening of a new office in the Netherlands, which will help the company increase its European presence following its successful growth in the UK.
OTTY Sleep, which launched in 2016, has opened a new virtual office and warehouse in Amsterdam, will work as its own entity with processing and shipping being conducted directly from the Dutch capital. The company will be providing support from its Leeds headquarters, and will be recruiting new members of staff to help meet the increasing demand.
The expansion into Netherlands becomes the retailer’s second European venture, and follows its recent launch into Germany, which has continued to grow substantially since opening in May 2018.
OTTY will be bringing the products previously exclusive to German market to the Netherlands following an intense research and development process, which revealed the need for a luxury and innovative memory foam option at a cost-effective price point.
Commenting on the expansion, founder and CEO of OTTY Sleep, Michal Szlas, said: “We first ventured into Europe earlier this year following the company’s success in the UK. Ultimately, the expansion has proved to be successful, and we’ve since seen potential customers from other European countries ask about our award-winning products.
“We saw Netherlands as the next natural step, and are employing new members of the team to help accommodate the increasing demand. We’re very confident the Dutch venture will bring the same amount of success that we’ve already experienced in the UK and Germany.”
OTTY Sleep was founded in 2016 by young entrepreneur Michal Szlas. The company employs nine people and has three distribution centres in the UK, along with portfolio in Germany and Netherlands. Since its launch, OTTY has been recognised by a number of industry experts and consumers, and was recently named Small Online Retailer of the Year at the prestigious NBF Awards.
