Kington

Paragon purchased the goodwill of an existing business at The Foundry in Kington in 1990 and then moved operations to Hatton Gardens Industrial Estate, literally ‘over the road’ to a new purpose built laundry and began processing in 1992.

Though relatively small in stature to the larger laundries within the group, Kington had an established reputation for friendly service and providing outstanding levels of quality. However despite its popularity, the site was closed in 2014 due to it’s limitations and the stringent demands of processing commercial laundry.
