Girbau UK Appoints Sales Manager for Scotland

By James Russell: Girbau UK Appoints Sales Manager for Scotland

October 18, 2016

Sharon Laing, Area Sales Manager for Scotland, Girbau UK

Laundry equipment specialist Girbau UK has appointed Sharon Laing as its Area Sales Manager for Scotland. In her new role she will be advising customers on establishing and running efficient and cost-saving on-premise laundries in the hospitality, healthcare, and education sectors.

Sharon has more than 17 years’ sales experience in the laundry industry from which she has acquired a deep understanding of customers’ needs, most recently at Fishers Services where she was General Manager Linen Sales. Prior to Fishers she was sales manager at Sunlight (now known as Berendsen).

Hotels installing a Girbau towel laundry can typically expect to make savings of between 25% and 45% or even more, while taking operational control and improving quality. Return on investment is between 12 and 18 months, including capital expenditure, utilities and labour costs. To accurately identify savings, Sharon undertakes a desktop analysis using data on current wash weights to provide a detailed financial breakdown comparing outsourced costs with savings achievable in-house.

Sharon will be on the Girbau UK stand (S3) at the Independent Hotel Show in London on 18-19 October.

A Yorkshire woman by birth, Sharon has lived in Scotland for over 20 years and is passionate about her adopted country. Sharon believes that it is soap suds not blood that runs in her veins.

Girbau is the only company in the UK to manufacture, install, service and maintain a full range of commercial and industrial laundry equipment and has more than 55 years’ experience in helping customers to design, set up and operate laundries.
