Attracted to the area by the developing oil refineries, the brown and cream vans quickly became a familiar sight around Pembrokeshire.
Hard work enabled the business to flourish, and he was delighted to be joined by his eldest son Allan in 1966.
In the mid 80's, a new, and much larger factory was built on the site to cope with the increasing business and trade, partly due to increasing tourism in the county. At about the same time, a new and more modern livery to our fleet of van's, coincided to the name change to Thomsons Pembrokeshire. By now, Jims younger son Mike, had also joined the company, making Thomsons laundry a true family run business.
Expansion into the rental market was inevitable, and with the same attention to quality and service found everywhere within the company, we quickly established ourselves as a market leader within the laundering and linen rental sector in south west wales.
Now into the 3rd generation of the Hansen family, Allan's son Andrew, is now the operations director, and is charged with taking the company forward into the future. Continued expansion and demand has seen Thomsons laundry venture further afield out of Pembrokeshire and as far north as Aberwystwyth and Borth, and Llandeilo in the east.
"Only the best is good enough" has long been our company motto, and with this in mind, we look forward to providing businesses in South West Wales with the same unbeatable service which has existed for over half a century.
