The Turvill family has controlled the Swiss laundry for over 80 years, with Richard Turvill, the current Managing Director being the third generation of his family in the post. The business continues to be run on “old fashioned” family values with a real focus on detail and customer service.
The company continues to provide specialist laundry, linen hire and work wear services primarily to the hospitality market. Through a combination of investment in the latest energy efficient technology, using the best available solvents and chemicals and by employing skilled employees, we like to think we provide an unrivalled level of performance and service.
In 2004, the Swiss Laundry acquired Camplings Linen, which had a similar proud history as a family run laundry going back well over 100 years. Both Swiss & Camplings operate to the same philosophy that ‘it’s the service that makes the difference’. In 2016 Camplings moved to a new purpose built laundry a couple of miles from its original location, employing the latest low energy technologies to present a more sustainable and resilient operation for our Customers. Building on the success, the Winter of 2019 witnessed the relocation of Swiss Laundry to a large state of the art laundry processing facility in Papworth (Cambridge).
Today Swiss Camplings is arguably operating two of the most environmentally friendly, low energy laundries in the country and is proud to service the hospitality sector across East Anglia and the Midlands.
