Scotland’s largest commercial laundry and textile rental company, Fishers Laundry Services, has extended its relationship with Fraikin by receiving the delivery of 25 new trucks. These additions consist of one 7.5-tonne and 24 15-tonne rigid trucks, as part of an ongoing fleet rejuvenation program.
The new vehicles are equipped with Fraikin’s complete suite of connected technologies, including MYSMARTFLEET, 360-degree cameras, and access to the maintenance portal, FRAIKinVIEW, to enhance safety and operational efficiency.

Lucy Renaut, Group Finance Director at Fishers, states, “Fraikin is still a relatively new supplier to our business. The partnership we have established allows us to deliver our freshly laundered linen, towels, and garments directly to our customers. Fraikin’s prompt handling of new vehicle orders has enabled us to adhere to our typical renewal schedule and, more importantly, focus entirely on our core business activities.”
By choosing Fraikin, Fishers will continue to benefit from contract hire, which covers all scheduled vehicle maintenance and any necessary repair work, along with dedicated 24/7 support from the Fraikin team.
The array of connected technologies included in the vehicle specifications provides real-time visibility and the opportunity for analysing metrics such as distance travelled, fuel efficiency, and driver behaviour. Additionally, it allows for accurate predictive maintenance scheduling and monitoring of breakdowns and repairs.
John Cooper, Business Development Manager at Fraikin, comments, “It’s wonderful to see our strong supplier relationships yield positive results for Fishers, enabling us to swiftly introduce these new units into service. We are enthusiastic about the prospects for further expanding our partnership in the years to come.”
Fishers’ commercial vehicle fleet operates seven days a week, handling the transportation of laundry to and from the company’s five locations in Coatbridge, Livingston, Newcastle, Perth, and Cupar. Their services cater to hospitality, industry, healthcare, and cleanroom businesses.
Fishers Laundry Services operates across Scotland and the northern regions of England, processing up to two million items per week. Their Cleanroom business serves clients across the entire United Kingdom.
