New Zealand Prime Minister John Key Celebrates 75 Years of Sleepyhead Beds

Over the last 75 years Sleepyhead has made millions of beds and in doing so provided a great night's sleep for New Zealanders of all ages, shapes and sizes.

On Thursday 14 October, New Zealand's bed maker, Sleepyhead celebrated its 75th anniversary. To honour this rare milestone the Prime Minister John Key joined Sleepyhead's owners, Craig and Graeme Turner, along with their families and staff at an event at the company's Otahuhu manufacturing headquarters in Auckland.

Sleepyhead Director, Craig Tuner said "It's unique for a New Zealand business to achieve 75 years, even more so to still be 100% New Zealand owned and operated by the same family. Sleepyhead has shown how New Zealand firms must make use of R&D to take greater advantage of market opportunities. We are passionate about manufacturing in New Zealand and are an example of a great kiwi company that's dedicated to continually innovating to create world-leading products in New Zealand. By doing that Sleepyhead is providing much-needed manufacturing jobs for New Zealand."
