Fishers launches trial laundry service for the Isle of Skye and Kyle of Lochalsh

Operators of smaller hospitality venues – B&Bs, guest houses, self-catering facilities – on the Isle of Skye and Kyle of Lochalsh are being offered a locally-delivered laundry service by Scotland’s market-leader, Fishers Laundry.

The game-changing pilot scheme, branded Fishers Local, is aimed at venues with 10 bedrooms or less. The service means operators will no longer have to wash, dry and iron bed linen and towels, saving on staff time and utility costs while ensuring that the bed linen and towels they provide to guests stay in top condition.

Fishers Local’s laundry room is located in the village of Kyleakin on the Isle of Skye, close to the Skye Bridge. Service users decide in advance how many pieces of linen and towels they require and will be able to swap used bed linen and towels for fresh supplies on a weekly basis and for a weekly fixed unit price.

The introduction of a laundry room on the Isle of Skye, located at Kyleakin, means that this innovative service can be provided in an economically viable way.

Scott Inglis, Commercial Director at Fishers, said:

“Small hotels, guest houses, B&Bs and self-catering venues are the backbone of the Scottish hospitality sector and they deserve to enjoy the same professional bed linen and towels laundry service as the bigger operators.

“This scheme allows us to remove the hassle of washing, drying and ironing bed linen and towels, freeing them up to concentrate on providing Scotland’s world-famous welcome for guests.”

The Fishers Local laundry room is located at the Isle of Skye Guest House, Kyleakin, Isle of Skye, IV41 8PQ and is open on Mondays to Saturdays from 10.00am until 2.00pm. Hospitality operators can join Fishers Local by emailing: claireb@fisherservices.co.uk.
