A launderette in Helston has become the first in the UK to take delivery of a revolutionary new environmentally friendly commercial washing machine.

Bubbles Launderette in Meneage Street has beaten all other launderettes in the UK to become the first to take delivery of the revolutionary Lagoon Wetcleaning machine - an alternative to dry cleaning.

Supplied by Redruth-based commercial equipment specialist Brewer and Bunney, the new wet cleaning alternative to dry cleaning equipment removes the need for solvents and hydrocarbons used in dry cleaning equipment, instead using biodegradable products.

Joyce Williams, who runs Bubbles, said she was thrilled to be the first launderette in the UK to use the new system.

"When we spoke to Brewer and Bunney and they told us about the new machine, we thought that the opportunity to become more environmentally friendly and offer better results with an alternative to traditional dry cleaning was a good one.

"Not for one minute did we think we would be the first launderette in the UK to take delivery of the system, but we are delighted to have that feather in our cap," said Joyce.

Brewer and Bunney Managing Director David Hayes said he was delighted that Joyce had decided to go down the eco-friendly route. "The Lagoon system really is revolutionary and for us to be able to supply the first one anywhere in the UK is fantastic. We are delighted that Joyce decided to take on the new system and opt for a more environmentally friendly and better way of dry cleaning.

"It is certainly a system that will become the new dry cleaning so to have a UK first in Cornwall is an achievement Joyce should be rightly proud of," said Mr Hayes.

A Cornish business that started life over 34 years ago in a disused garage, is celebrating the official opening of its new purpose built headquarters.

Redruth-based Brewer and Bunney has grown from its modest roots to become the South West’s leading commercial laundry equipment specialist.

Now the company, which employs 18 people, is celebrating the official opening of its new headquarters on Barncoose Industrial Estate, as demand for its services continues to grow.

The opening ceremony was performed by the Finance Director of Electrolux UK’s Commercial Division Mr David Beesley and was attended by Brewer and Bunney’s staff and invited guests.

Company Chairman and founder David Brewer, who is also Chairman of the CPR Regeneration Company and Cornwall Chamber of Commerce and Industry, believes the company’s success and continued growth is testament to the commitment and expertise of the company’s staff, a view shared by Brewer and Bunney managing Director David Hayes.

"From our origins as an electrical contractor and retailer serving Camborne and Redruth we have grown to become the South West’s leading commercial laundry equipment specialist with a reputation for expertise which has spread across the UK.

"Our growth and success is a reflection of the quality of the people we have working here," said Mr Hayes, "and I am delighted that it has necessitated the creation of a purpose built headquarters, which will serve our future needs perfectly."

Performing the official opening ceremony, Mr Beesley paid tribute to Brewer and Bunney.

"When we recently launched our new Lagoon commercial washing system in the UK, I was not surprised that the first person in the country to sell the system was Terry Willetts, Brewer and Bunney’s sales manager. Such is their approach to business. They have become the UK’s largest Agent for Electrolux commercial laundry equipment and I am delighted to have been invited to perform the official opening of their new offices," said Mr Beesley.

In addition to being the UK’s leading supplier of Electrolux laundry equipment, Brewer and Bunney is also the country’s largest distributor of Johnson Diversey auto feed liquid detergents.
