HERE ARE JUST
SOME OF OUR
LATEST SUCCESS
STORIES:
Word of mouth leads to contract
win at Freeport Commercials
Supporting business growth
at Prep Kitchen
Prep Kitchen specialises in healthy, delicious and fresh
ready meals delivered direct to consumers’ doors.
The recent success of the business has led to it
relocating to a larger production facility, with a
requirement for food trade coats for 150 wearers.
This was the first time the company had appointed a
professional service provider for such garments, and
it was seeking a supplier that could offer exceptional
value. Elis proposed various options to accommodate
the requirements of the business, and was selected
Family-run truck repair shop Freeport Commercials
had been using the same workwear rental and
laundry supplier for over 30 years. Following a
discussion with Sefton Council, which had recently
switched to Elis, they were keen to find out more
and contacted us. Impressed by the quality of
our products and the value of our service, they
also made the decision to switch and we are
delighted to be supplying them with products
from our workwear and washroom ranges.
Adding value at Yasin Auto Centre
Prior to discussions with Elis, Yasin Auto Centre didn’t
have a workwear service. This was something they
were keen to explore, as they recognised that smart
and professional staff uniform would help to elevate
their brand image, and could see the added value
and convenience provided by our professional
laundering service. We also discovered that the
company was facing additional costs in the form
of waste disposal of rags, and recommended our
industrial wipers and reprocessing service, which
they had no hesitation in switching to.
Welcoming Camvac
International on board
We’re delighted to be partnering with
Thetford-based Camvac International, one
of the leading global suppliers of vacuum coated
films and laminates for a wide range of food,
technical and industrial applications. We are now
supplying the company with workwear as part
of a combined rental and laundry agreement.
This includes various garments, including polo
shirts, sweatshirts, trousers, Flame and Fire Plus
Protection Jackets and Hi-Vis products.
THE THREAD
Deal secured with Archer
Daniels Midland
Archer Daniels Midland, more commonly known
as ADM, is a global leader in human and animal
nutrition and the world’s premier agricultural
origination and processing company. It had
been using an alternative workwear and laundry
supplier across the majority of its UK sites for several
years but, following initial contact by our telesales
team, Elis was invited to tender. Due to operations
spanning Europe, negotiations were lengthy and
involved numerous stakeholders. However, we are
pleased to say that the deal has been signed off.
Consolidating services
at Berry Hill Foods
Berry Hill Foods has grown from a single mixing bowl
to a major food manufacturer in just over 30 years,
specialising in the processing of meat and plantbased products. The company had been using
two suppliers to fulfil its workwear, washroom and
floor mat requirements, but was keen to explore
options. Following discussions with Elis it became
clear that we could meet all its needs with better
quality branded products - along with washroom
services - for a more competitive price.
