Edwards Joins the ABS Sales Staff

ABS Laundry Business Solutions hired Simon Edwards to serve as the company’s sales manager for the UK and Nordic region, strengthening its commercial presence across one of Europe’s most dynamic laundry markets.

In his new role, Edwards will focus on helping laundry operators modernize critical workflows including order-to-invoice, stock management, RFID-enabled tracking and automation integration, and on building partnerships across the region to accelerate digital transformation initiatives.

“ABS has an exceptional reputation for delivering modern, integration-friendly ERP and analytics software to industrial laundries,” Edwards said. “I’m excited to work with operators across the UK and Nordics to benchmark processes, identify hidden workflow gaps, and help teams unlock performance improvements with ABSSolute and the wider ABS platform.”

Edwards brings more than 30 years of experience in the industrial laundry sector, combining technical know-how with a record of new-business growth and long-term customer partnerships. His background spans software, automation, chemicals, and water and energy optimization, supporting hospitality, workwear and healthcare laundries across the UK and Ireland.

“Simon’s knowledge of end-to-end laundry operations, combined with his consultative approach, fits perfectly with ABS’s mission to help operators digitize, integrate and scale with confidence,” said Marien van Bezooijen, CEO, ABS. “Our customers in the UK and Nordics will benefit from his experience and his ability to translate real operational challenges into practical, technology-led solutions.”
