A family-run business is gearing up to double its turnover with a move to bigger premises.

Distinct Disposables Ltd is investing £150,000 in a new state-of-the-art site at Park Valley Mills, Lockwood, as part of plans to double revenues of £1.2m to £2.4m by 2017.

The company, which distributes cleaning and janitorial products such as bleaches, toilet rolls, mops and buckets as well as the Huddersfield-manufactured Bay West brand – was launched in 1987 by businesswoman Diane Storer.

Now her two children, Emma Wood and Paul Storer, have taken up the roles of joint directors responsible for driving the growth of the business.

The company, which operates separately from the family’s Meltham-based washroom products manufacturer Disposables UK, is moving into two units at the Park Valley Mills development in Lockwood.

The new offices and warehouse provide the firm and its 11-strong workforce with 5,560sq ft of space – treble the size of the current premises in Meltham Mills.

The premises, which are due to open next Monday, have open plan offices, a modern reception area and meeting and training rooms as well as warehousing for the firm’s many lines of products.

Features include air conditioning, energy-efficient lighting and wi-fi. The facility will also be “future-proofed” to make sure the company can expand on the site in the coming years.

Distinct Disposables, supplies customers including John Smith’s Stadium, Kirklees College, Huddersfield University and Kirklees Active Leisure. The firm will also supply the new leisure centre in Huddersfield when it opens later this year. It is also launching a new website to help drive sales in other regions.

Emma said: “Paul and I have grown up with Distinct Disposables through our mum, so we are really proud to be taking over and growing the business even further.

Huddersfield is our home town, so it was really important to us as a family business to remain in the area. Our new site is right in the heart of the town and will really aid our growth – allowing us to provide an even more efficient service to our customers.”

Said Paul: “We’re proud that Distinct Disposables is very much a family business, built over the past 28 years on old-fashioned family values and trust.

“We’ve come a long way from helping mum drop off products on our way to school and there is so much potential to take the business forward.”
