A West Cumbrian laundry has won a major industry award.
Shortridge Laundry, based at Joseph Noble Road, Lillyhall, has been named Best Independent Laundry in the UK at the LCN Awards, held in London.
Shortridge, which also has a branch in Dumfries, supplies over 1,800 customers, ranging from family-run B&Bs to five star hotels and looks after workwear for businesses in industries including catering, food production, engineering and the motor trade.
David Greenwell, co-founder and sales director, said: “The award identifies that we really do deliver on their mission to provide the very best possible laundry.
"Every year we invest in around £1m of new linen and towels, sourcing them from the best manufacturers around the world.
"This is appreciated by our customers’ customers: hotel guest expectations rise inexorably, and our range keeps pace with that."
