Fishers Laundry Group has underlined its commitment to its home town of Cupar in Fife by opening a new head office in the town. Linda McCurdy, chief executive of K-Bro Linen Systems, which acquired Fishers earlier this year, performed the opening ceremony for the new facility, which will house 14 administrative staff and management. She was joined by Fife’s Provost, Jim Leishman; local MSP, Willie Rennie; and Fishers’ MD Michael Jones.
Fishers was established in 1900 and now washes, irons and delivers more than two million items a week. The company provides linen and workwear laundering and rental services to the hospitality, healthcare, manufacturing and pharmaceutical sectors. The business currently operates from seven sites across Scotland and the North of England.
Fishers has named its new head office Edenfields – reflecting its location in Cupar Trading Estate on the outskirts of the town through which the River Eden flows.
Linda McCurdy, CEO of K-Bro, said: “Fishers occupies an important place in the UK laundry market and I’m thrilled that we’ve been able to create a new head office facility that reflects its position as a significant, modern laundry business.”
Michael Jones, Fishers’ MD said: “We’re proud to be based in Cupar and our new head office provides modern accommodation for our central services team alongside the conferencing and meeting facilities that are essential to running our business. We love the fact that we’re right across the road from our largest Scottish laundry here in the town."
Jim Leishman, Provost of Fife, said: “It's great to be here to celebrate this new investment in Cupar from a business that has a strong history in the town."
Willie Rennie MSP said: “I am happy to mark the opening of the new head office of Fishers Laundry Group. Cupar is a busy and vibrant town with a long association with this excellent business. Fishers has a good reputation in the hospitality sector and the decision to open a new head office in Cupar will signal the company’s commitment to Scotland.”
