Washers supplied to school
25 July 2017
The Pegasus School in Caldwell, Derbyshire, run by the Senad Group, is an independent residential school for young people ages eight to 19 years with severe learning disabilities, autism and associated challenging behaviour. The school is part of the SENAD Group of specialist schools, adult care homes and community based support services.
The main laundry facilities handle the young people’s personal clothing, bedding and towels and operate seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. The main laundry also handles all the medical/control wash needs for the school. In the autumn of 2015 the school purchased two new 11kg Primus washers, supplied by Armstrong Commercial Laundry Systems and installed by Armstrong dealer, Claridge Electricals.
Stefan McCran who is responsible for catering and housekeeping in the SENAD schools, has had a good relationship with Armstrong for some time, with equipment being supplied to several of the SENAD schools and homes, including an 11kg Amazon washer supplied to Aran Hall School in Gwynedd.
“The range of equipment is good and the machines are very reliable,” he said. “Most of the laundry is done by the housekeeping staff in the schools who are given training in the different programmes, control and medical washes. At Bladon House we also have smaller laundry rooms located in the homes for the young people to learn new ‘life skills’ such as how to do their own washing.”
