Textile Manager

About a Career With Elis

Elis is a leading provider of professional garments and linen rental and care services. At group level, this activity represents 80% of its revenue and requires a yearly investment of several hundred million pounds. The optimisation of this investment in terms of cost, quality and added value for our customers is a strategic priority for the group and in the UK.

Our business is based on the circular economy, giving our customers the opportunity to use many products through rental rather than having to buy them. We ensure products are designed and maintained to provide superior functionality and durability.
