Radcliffe Construction, the Huddersfield-based specialist construction project management firm, has completed a £1million warehouse extension and improvement project for luxury sleep product manufacturer, Raskelf Group.

Rakself Group – which shot to fame in 2011 after appearing on the BBC’s Dragons’ Den with its Duvalay sleeping bag – has worked with Radcliffe Construction to add a 9,500 square foot warehouse extension to its Heckmondwike headquarters that will help increase its manufacturing output by around 40%.

Faisal Choudhury, director at Radcliffe Construction, said: “As the business continues to go from strength to strength, Raskelf Group approached us to help them extend their current manufacturing facility to ensure they have a factory that allows them to keep up with current demand and that futureproofs them for further growth.

“It was a pleasure to work with the Raskelf team to deliver a turnkey project that included the demolition of an existing unit followed by the construction of a brand new 9,500 square foot warehouse extension on piled foundations complete with a mezzanine, plus further improvements to an existing adjacent warehouse including replacing the roof, walls and concrete floor slab to improve that space further.”

Alan Colleran, MD at the Raskelf Group, said: “Increasing our manufacturing capability to support our growth has been a priority as we move forward into 2025 and the challenge was creating a new warehouse while continuing to operate business as usual. Logistics were difficult due to working within a live warehouse environment, but the Radcliffe Construction team delivered”.
