URGENT APPEAL - We need a new Commercial Washing Machine - could you or your business help?

Submitted by Steve on 16:08, 29th Sep, 2014 | 0

After 10 years our Commercial Washing Machine recently decided it could no longer continue.

We are currently shopping for single phase equipment that could deal with the blankets and towels that come from over 200 animals a day.

The current machine has been working 7am to 7pm 7 days a week for 10 years and we are looking at a machine which could carry out this difficult task.

We have a number of quotes coming in and it is likely that a 20kg machine will cost in the region of £5500.
