Business Summary:
Commercial, Retail and Domestic Laundry and Cleaning Business Confidentially offered for sale Ref No: IB007 Location:Wiltshire Asking Price: �210,000 This company was established by its present owner / director in 2004 who spotted an opening in the market for a top quality laundry and dry cleaning business. The operation quickly established itself as the regions leading company in this sector and has focused on three main areas of operation. Firstly as a retail business it has approximately five hundred clients some of whom travel from twenty to thirty miles to have their washing, ironing and dry cleaning done. The business has built itself an enviable reputation for providing friendly, high quality service at competitive prices. This is supplied by a well-established, professional and close knit team of staff who understand the importance of customer service in this competitive environment. Due to their proficiency they have also successfully diversified into the domestic cleaning market and have a solid client base of householders who rely on the cleaning teams who visit them on a regular basis. The commercial arm of the company specializes in large contract work and has built up a portfolio of twelve on going contracts with blue chip clients such as the MOD, hotels, restaurants, and bed and breakfast businesses. Some of these clients also make regular use of a linen hire facility which further enhances customer loyalty. The operation has also moved outside the normal perimeters for the industry developing additional revenue streams with innovative ideas such as horse laundry. Due to the high standards they have adopted since day one they now work with leading medical companies, insurance companies and carpet cleaning operations.
