With their Wakefield factory based on Portobello Road, this worldwide company which has some fantastic opportunities, is accessible locally.
So, what do they do? Well, maybe the question is what don’t they do…
The Elis brand offers a wide range of laundry and hygiene services to number of different sectors, to name but a few they offer cleanroom services, flat linen, floor protection, surgical solutions, washroom and work wear to small to large companies across the globe.
After hosting one of our events, our members were treated to a tour of the Elis facility which they were shown what the company can do for small, local businesses, as well as the larger, nationwide companies.
We caught up with General Manager at Elis, Jonny Parkinson, who explained what the main focus of the company is.
“At Elis we pride ourselves on our core values of Respect, Integrity, Responsibility and Exemplarity, these are at the forefront of our business model and a focus of all our customer partnerships,” he explains.
“Elis are a multiservice provider offering Workwear, Floorcare, Washroom and Wipers on industrial scale, serviced from one location and one supplier.
We have a wide knowledge base and scope to offer bespoke commercial packages to suit individual needs, these can range from local, independent businesses through to large national or European organisations.”
Elis have been members of We Are Wakefield for some time now, and Jonny tells us how it has helped the company in a local capacity:
“Our site has operated in the same location over many decades, employing local people but has never had a real presence in the community.
We want to work with local organisations to share best practise, become aware of how we can support the community of Wakefield businesses commercially and operationally by building strong relationships and connections.
This is out first year and already we have made some good connections, utilising fellow WAW members services to support our organisation.
As a business Elis UK have now entered the washroom market offering washroom and hygiene solutions across the Yorkshire region from it’s plant in Wakefield.
We have invested in our service delivery capability, products and services and have capacity to work with organisations to find a fit for purpose solution.
If you are interested in a no obligation site survey our team are contactable on (01924) 240250 – Quoting FreeWashroomSurvey.”
