Accor recently acquired the customer base and
affiliated contracts with retail dry cleaners of Cleaning Tokens Ltd in the United
Kingdom.
Since 1971, Cleaning Tokens Ltd has provided British businesses and local
authorities with a full management service for cleaning work uniforms. It
currently has 250 customers and a network of affiliate companies that include
the biggest national dry cleaning and laundry services chains. The
technological synergies, especially with Clean Way in France (100,000
consumers including the staff of Air France and the SNCF National Railways)
will enable the service to be modernized, with the introduction of smart cards
to replace paper vouchers.
This operation further enhances the broad range of services provided by Accor
to British organisations and broadens the European base of Clean Way, the No.1
European network for work uniform laundry services.
Within this business sector, Accor is currently present in France (with Clean
Way) and in the Czech Republic (Cisty Ticket), and it is preparing to expand
into other European countries.
Accor Services provides an extensive range of services in the United Kingdom
and Eire, such as: Luncheon Vouchers, Childcare Vouchers, Familylife
Solutions, Employee Advisory Resources (services and assistance provided to
staff to enable them to better reconcile their working life and their private life),
and Eyecare Vouchers, and it manages the Milk Tokens programme of state-funded
milk distribution.
