WASHCO completes Love Laundry Awards cycle at the Care Show

WASHCO has announced the winners of its 2022 Love Laundry Awards.

The winners were unveiled at this year’s Care Show at NEC Birmingham, with Janet Southorn from Bricklehampton Hall Nursing Home and Sarah Williamson from Canwick House jointly taking home the Love Laundry Hero award in recognition of having gone above and beyond the call of duty.

Janet said: “This has come as a complete surprise! I feel honoured to have won an award for doing a job which I love. Congratulations to Sarah and thank you WASHCO for shining a light on the hard work laundry teams do up and down the country!”

Wren Hall Nursing Home won the Love Laundry Care Home award in recognition of implementing outstanding laundry processes.

Anita Astle MBE, Wren Hall’s manager, said: “Seeing our laundry team receive recognition for their outstanding, tireless work, and commitment to ensuring that our ladies and gents look good and feel great, is absolutely amazing. Thank you, WASHCO!”

New for this year was the Love Laundry Engineer’s Choice award, which was awarded to Priscilla Wakefield House. According to WASHCO’s senior service technician Chris Gaynor, Priscilla Wakefield House deserved the award because whenever he visits the home, “the machine lint filters are always clean and staff always have a smile on their face.”

He added: “Staff always offer to make me a drink and take the time to ask how I am. I look forward to visiting Priscilla Wakefield House and believe that all the laundry staff should be rewarded for their hard work.”

WASHCO’s head of marketing & projects Emily Stoten said: “We’re continuously impressed by the extremely high standards of all our entrants. We’d like to congratulate everyone for their dedication to their residents’ safety and give a special well done and thank you to all our worthy winners. We’re looking forward to rewarding more laundry heroes at next year’s 2023 Love Laundry Awards!”
