Our history
Berendsen plc (previously called The Davis Service Group Plc) is a European textile service business with leading positions in the majority of the countries in which we operate. The Company is listed on the London Stock Exchange.
The business was formed following the acquisition of Sophus Berendsen in 2002, which had textile service operations under the Berendsen brand in Scandinavia, The Netherlands, Germany and Poland. These operations were combined with the existing Davis business which had very similar operations in the UK, Ireland and Germany, providing services under the Sunlight and Spring Grove brands. Both Berendsen and Davis were long-established business service companies with history dating back over a hundred years.
Since 2002, key events in the Company's development have included:
2004 | Sale of HSS Hire Services in UK and USA |
2005 | Sale of Elliott Group in UK |
2007 | Acquisition of Permaclean Group (Germany, Workwear) |
2007 | Acquisition of UK clinical solutions and decontamination business |
2008 | Entry into Baltic states |
2010 | Opening of a processing plant in the emerging Czech Republic market |
2011 | Change of name from The Davis Service Group Plc to Berendsen plc |
