HOW IT ALL STARTED

Electric Laundry Repair was originally established in 1985 and was secured by Tony and Susie Lyndon in 1987. Operating from a premises on Rua Street in Hamilton, Tony was on the tools with an apprentice, and Susie ran the office in the evening due to already having a full-time job. During this time, they increased their family with the arrival of Chris.

Being affected by the share market crash, Tony and Susie decided to consolidate by moving back to the home garage and using the spare room as the office.

Seeing the need to diversify, they added a spare parts division which required a full-time sales rep and established a domestic rental fleet. This coincided with the birth of their daughter.

By 1997 ELR had well outgrown the home garage. Moving to 13 Jolly Street proved to be a good decision as it still operates from there today. Over the years the business has grown and evolved, providing the next generation a chance to manage the company going forward.

HOW CHRIS STARTED

Before leaving high school in 2006 I knew my future was going to be in a trade-based industry, and it wasn’t long before I chose the electrical path.

I began my apprenticeship with the family business in 2007 and have never looked back. As my apprenticeship was coming to an end, I realised I had a passion for the commercial laundry industry. The laundry enthusiasm paired with being a naturally organised person meant I quickly grew into the ‘operations manager’ role for ELR.

Not knowing what my next step looked like I took a break away in November 2014 to complete the Te Araroa trail. Walking 3000 km over 4 months gave me the time to gain clarity on the next step. This next step came in the form of purchasing the company. In 2018 my wife and I took the plunge and purchased the company.

From a company of 2 in 1987, ELR has grown to over 10 staff, with plans of continued growth so we can continue providing expertise to the commercial laundry industry.
