We Love Laundry
At Sunrise Laundry Services we are passionate about laundry and are determined to provide our customers with a service that they will value and want to use over and over again.
As a family business we believe that our customers are looking for dependability and consistency delivered with a no- nonsense yet passionate and determined approach.
Being an independent business, we strive to be easy to work with and believe that we can be more agile than a larger national company and so are able to offer a flexible and tailor-made service built around our customers.
We have efficient channels of communication and instant decision making capabilities which enable us to provide you with a better customer experience.
Our Passion
As a small company we are able to keep our prices competitive.
In addition, we complete all of our processing in-house, avoiding outsourcing costs and this ensures reliability and a well-managed service.
We have access to the same supplier networks and pricing structures as the larger national companies and have chosen to partner with some of the UK's leading laundry experts.
Humble Beginnings
The Start Of Our Journey
After 30 years working for a large international laundry provider, the opportunity presented itself for us to set up our own commercial laundry business and fulfil a dream.
This dream involved working in an industry that we felt passionate about and gave us the ability to cater for the small and medium sized businesses with their individual and unique requirements that the large laundry providers often could not cater for due to the scale of their operations.
And in the summer of 2018, Sunrise Laundry Services was born in a small unit in Stockport before relocating to Crewe to be closer to our families and for them to devote themselves to the family business.
5 Years Of Investment
Our Investment
Moving our location to Crewe in August 2018 motivated us to make strategic investments aimed at increasing capacity, improving quality and making us more resilient. We have continued this investment to this day.
This means that our capacity has increased from 80kgs of washing capability per hour in 2018 to in excess of of 500kgs per hour today.
Likewise our ironing and finishing capacity has increased from 100 items to over 600 items per hour.
Our investment in equipment, detergents and processes has resulted in a linen reject rate of less than 0.05%.
The industry average is a wasteful and inconvenient 12% to 15% of laundry being rejected!
By boasting such a minimal rejection rate we can be confident that not only are our customers having a more user friendly experience, we are also being less wasteful and helping to reduce our impact on the enviroment.
