RICHARD Ellis the chairman of EEDA (East of England Development Agency) opened a new £600,000 facility at a laundry company's Great Yarmouth base.

Camplings Linen Services in Southtown has been offering laundry and linen services to the region since the turn of the last century.

The new facility, capable of processing 100,000 towels a week, has been named the Kerrison Building after the Kerrison family who ran and grew the business for two generations.

Managing director Guy Turvill whose family bought the business from Peter Kerrison in 2004 said he was keen to retain the sense of community and continuity.
