We are approved professional partners for both Miele Professional and Electrolux Professional products.

This coupled with our laundry operations success approach, means that every customer benefits from the machine and service set-up that reflects the specific demands and dynamics of each location.
Laundry & Dishwashing Operations Success
The right brand depends on the operation, not the other way round
At a&f, we work with carefully selected manufacturers whose equipment performs reliably in real-world environments over the long term. The aim is not to force every site towards one product range. It is to understand the laundry or dishwashing operation, then specify the equipment that best supports it.
Sometimes that means Miele Professional. Sometimes Electrolux Professional is the better laundry fit. For dishwashing, the right answer may be Miele Professional or Classeq. Our role is to make that choice clearly, practically and with long-term support in mind.
Selected for performance, serviceability and fit
We choose brand partners based on how their equipment performs in daily use, how well it can be supported, and how effectively it contributes to a stable operation.
What this means for customers
- A recommendation based on workload, site conditions, users and long-term support needs
- Access to proven laundry and dishwashing manufacturers without being tied to one answer
- Equipment selected to help the whole operation run more reliably, not just to fill a space
Miele Professional
Our principal product partner for many laundry and dishwashing applications where reliability, engineering integrity, consistent results and long working life are central to the operation.
Electrolux Professional
A valuable laundry partner where flexibility, capacity range, layout constraints, drying configuration or ironing and finishing requirements make it the best fit for the site.
Classeq dishwashers
A robust and straightforward dishwashing option for environments where dependable daily use, simple operation, serviceability and hygiene support are the priorities.
Designed into the home
Professional performance, without a commercial feel
A professional laundry system does not need to feel industrial. With the right planning, Miele Professional laundry equipment can sit naturally within a high-quality boot room, utility room, pool house or estate laundry.
