Armstrong wins where reliability really matters
When your business is in the Outer Hebrides the most important considerations in equipment selection are reliability, reliability and reliability. So when the beautiful Castlebay Hotel on Barra, the southernmost of the Western Isles needed replacement laundry equipment, experience pointed to a Primus 10 kg washer-extractor and a Huebsch 301 litre (30 lb) tumble dryer from Armstrong Commercial Laundry Systems.
Transport from the mainland is a 5 hour ferry journey from Oban or by air from Glasgow to the unique airfield on the beach – depending on the tide. Manager John Campbell says ‘There is no laundry service on Barra so we rely on our own equipment for everything from the guest rooms, dining room, kitchen and bar. We have high occupancy levels, especially in the summer and our laundry is working about six hours a day, seven days a week. Our Armstrong equipment gives us no problems and we know we can rely on Armstrong’s technical support and our local engineer for servicing and repairs.’
