Ref. AP028
Location : Gloucestershire
Asking Price : GBP 140,000 +Net assets
Established in 2009, this is an opportunity to purchase a professional laundry that is located in the heart of Gloucestershire s high net worth demographic communities. The business provides its high quality services to private homes, holiday lets, boutique B&B s and hotels.
The business was founded by the current vendor after identifying a clear need in the area for a fine linen laundry of the highest standard; and this has meant that the company-s reputation has been earned by virtue of setting the standard and maintained thereafter.
The activities of the business divide into two principle areas, being firstly the commercial services where a reputation for fast turnaround, flexibility and professionalism from beginning to end has been well earned. Secondly the laundering of domestic bed linen for homeowners seeking the best quality service for their linen, shirts and duvets etc..
These commercial customers include luxury hotels, B&B s and property lets who demand the highest standards of service and quality.
The commercial laundry service has a rigorous quality control and ensures consistently maintained standards.
All articles are counted and checked in on receipt
Treatment for any stains requiring attention
Appropriate use of specific products and programmes for all laundry
All articles not up to standard will be re-laundered prior to delivery
Everything is hand finished and prepared by highly experienced staff
All equipment is top of the range commercial laundry machinery, guaranteeing high standards of performance and with a comprehensive range of programme options that allows the company to select accurately, the optimal process for all laundry.
The company s team of laundry experts services private and domestic laundry requirements in and around Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire. Services include:
Bed Linen hand finished
