River Nile Linens
Giles Stewart with Jenny Bullock.
River Nile Linens has reopened its showroom in Warkworth. It’s now conveniently located between two bed shops at 8 Mill Lane, otherwise known as “sleep street”.
Wellsford’s Giles Stewart took over the business in April and his long-term goal is to make River Nile Linens New Zealand’s go-to linen brand.
He has been in the bedding industry for more than 10 years, and worked for Sleep Systems NZ as it expanded from a small family business in Ruawai to a significant wholesaler countrywide.
He says one of the biggest hurdles to buying a new bed is being unable to find linen to fit it. River Nile Linens solves this by producing custom-made linen – a service also popular among caravan and boat owners.
