Nursing homes

Hi guys,

i have got an appointment to see a nursing home owner, in regards to curtains for his homes.

I have located some fabrics from skopos which are fire retardent, washable at high temps etc etc, was wondering whether anybody has any experience of prices charged when doing premises such as nursing homes and hotels, Obviously its a competitive market, and high volume.

Any help and advice appreciated thanks
Sukhi

Hello,

Sorry no experience in pricing but another company that does fabrics etc. for the contract market is Edmund Bell, I have always found them really helpful.

Re: Nursing homes

This is quite a specialised market and if you have to compete with the "big boys" on price to get the job, you may struggle, especially if there is much vloume involved. Mostly these kind of curtains are made by high volume workrooms for quite low prices. This means that for most workrooms it isn't cost effective to do, enless you really need the work.
I can put you in touch with a contract workroom not too far from you and a couple more fabric suppliers if that's any help. PM me if you would like any more info.

Regards,

Phil.
