We have resumed the operation of two of our major divisions; 'Barker Collars' and 'Barker Workwear' within temporary premises at Basepoint Business Centre in Hurn. The move signals the complete reinstatement of our four major services following the loss of our Bournemouth-based headquarters in a factory fire on 20th September 2005. Managing director of Barker Group, Matthew Barker, says, "The Basepoint unit is providing Barker Group with a temporary facility for all of our local operations, and we are delighted at the speed with which Basepoint has been able to accommodate our needs at this critical time. The Barker Group Laundry and Dry Cleaning operations were reinstated almost immediately after the fire, and now with the rest of the business back up and running, the company is looking ahead to a promising future." Formerly operating from our Winton-based site, the Barker Group Collars and Workwear divisions are key elements of our core business. 'Barker Collars' is the world's largest launderer of detachable stiff collars, and manufacturer of over 80% of the world's new detachable stiff collars. Matthew Barker continues, "Our clients include Royalty, the Judiciary, Military & Naval Services, private schools and colleges, and members of the general public in the UK and around the world. We launder in excess of 60,000 detachable stiff collars every year and the numbers are continuing to grow." Basepoint in Bournemouth provides high quality affordable small business units, for office or workshop use, available to let on Basepoint's unique two-weekly rolling license agreements.
