Services still strong

The recent contracts exchanged between Johnsons Apparelmaster (JAM), the Textile Rental division of Johnson Service Group (JSG) and OCS, relate to the divestment of the Cannon Textile Care business and specified garment, towels and linen. The service provision of roller towels and floorcare by Cannon Hygiene is not affected by this transaction.

Cannon Hygiene continues to flourish and is expecting to increase its share of the roller towel and floorcare market in line with expectations as a leading national provider of washroom, floorcare and waste services. All customers receiving roller towel and mat products from the Textile Care business have been formally transferred to the Cannon Hygiene business.

"Roller towels and mats continue to be of upmost strategic importance to Cannon Hygiene," comments Howard Sedgwick, MD of Cannon Hygiene."We wish to re-assure our valued customers that this divestment by the OCS Group of Cannon Textile Care does not affect our service provision of these core products."
