Cole & Wilson is set for significant growth as parent company Christeyns UK bolsters its professional hygiene and chemistry divisions.
Headquartered in Slaithwaite, West Yorkshire, Cole & Wilson manufactures specialist laundry chemicals for use in high street dry cleaners and launderers. They became part of Christeyns UK in 2014.
In a move designed to streamline operations, Cole & Wilson will take over the chemistry sales arm of Alex Reid from March, with staff moving over to provide customer sales support. Once complete, the changes are hoped to position Cole & Wilson as a leading brand in the supply of specialist wet and dry-cleaning products.
The consumables division of Alex Reid is moving to Lynx Dry Cleaning Supplies, formalising a partnership that has developed over a number of years. Lynx will continue to sell the range of Cole & Wilson chemicals.
Nick Garthwaite, Christeyns UK Managing Director, said: “Looking ahead, these changes to our structure mean we can focus on development of key areas within the Christeyns UK group business, making the company as a whole even stronger.”
