The business

Warkworth Laundry is a full-service laundry on Woodcocks Road in Warkworth. It offers wash, dry & fold, ironing and pressing, hotel-grade linen hire, and pick-up and delivery — making it easy for busy households and businesses to hand over their laundry and get it back fast, clean and consistently finished.

Customers range from local families to Airbnbs and holiday homes, accommodation providers, hospitality venues, healthcare providers and offices across Warkworth, Matakana, Omaha, Point Wells, Leigh, Wellsford, Mangawhai and surrounding areas.

Why Celsian partnered with Nicci

  • An essential, repeat-use local service — laundry and linen are needed every week, in every season.
  • A fast-growing catchment — the Matakana Coast's population and visitor accommodation continue to grow.
  • Strong commercial demand — holiday rentals, hospitality and healthcare need a reliable, local linen partner.
  • An owner-operator who's all in — Nicci brings her business and her leadership into the Celsian partnership.

What we're doing

Nicci continues to lead Warkworth Laundry day to day as a Celsian operating partner, with the group's capital, systems and governance behind her. Priorities include:

  • Growing commercial linen hire and recurring accounts with accommodation and hospitality providers.
  • Expanding pick-up and delivery coverage and making ordering simpler for customers.
  • Investing in equipment and processes for capacity, turnaround time and consistent quality.
  • Putting in place the financial reporting and governance to support long-term growth.
