Barker Group are the largest independent launderer and dry cleaner in the South of England and we have just expanded following the take-over of all dry cleaning processing from Gainsboro Dry Cleaners in north Dorset.
We will now undertake all the dry cleaning contracts and direct retail business from two sites in north Dorset, Stalbridge and Sherborne, generating over £100,000 of extra revenue per annum for the Group.
The acquisition of the new dry cleaning contracts has also led to an increased workforce and is indicative of the continued expansion of our family-operated company.
Managing director Matthew Barker says, "Barker Group is currently one of the few independent dry cleaners in the UK experiencing growth, and by obtaining the dry cleaning trade from these north Dorset retail outlets, along with a further £750,000 of additional turnover in the laundry division in 2005, has cemented its position as the fastest growing dry cleaning and laundry business in the UK.
He continues, "We are delighted to be servicing an even greater proportion of our home county, and believe that our established reputation coupled with our commitment to service excellence will ensure that the Barker Group continues to establish itself as the first choice for the dry cleaning needs of people in the county."
Founded in 1966, the Barker Group has been operated by three consecutive generations of the Barker family. Based in Bournemouth, and with retail outlets in Bournemouth, Boscombe, Winton, Charminster, Bath, Poole, and Andover, the group services thousands of customers from private households to multi national companies across four major divisions; Barker Laundry, Barker Dry Cleaning, Barker Workwear, and Barker Collars.
