Douglas Yates
Managing Director
Douglas is the Managing Director here at TCS. Since taking over the reins in Nov 2017 he has seized the opportunity to learn about the Dry Cleaning and Laundry industry. As a natural born businessman he aims to be on top of his game, positively guiding the company forward. When he’s not negotiating and building relationships with customers and suppliers he can be found on the golf course or spending time with his ever growing family.

Sally Bousie
General Manager (Sales)
Sally joined the team in 2018 and her calming influence keeps us all grounded and on task. As a Mum of 4, she balances work and life incredibly well with many amusing stories to share with us daily. Out of work Sally loves sport, music and a good book.

Claire Pollard
Warehouse Supervisor
Some say that the company should be called ‘Textile CLAIRE Supplies’ as Claire has been an employee for over 15 years. Very much the wittiest of the team her chat is second to none. Her addiction to the sun sees her jet setting a lot more than the normal human being.

Gregor Anderson
Sales Advisor
Gregor is the newest member of our sales team at TCS, so if you hear a male voice answer the phone for a change don’t worry, you haven’t called the wrong number! Gregor is a whiz on computers, picks up and remembers information very well and has a lovely friendly demeanour which has quickly made him an important part of the team. Outside of work Gregor can usually be found spending time with his family and friends, or shouting at the TV whenever Raith Rovers or Newcastle United are playing.

Kirstie Macleod
Sales Advisor
Kirstie is our resident ‘Little Miss Sunshine’. You’ll never meet anyone that smiles, laughs and compliments others like she does. If you need a pick me up Kirstie’s your gal. They say elephants never forget but they haven’t met Kirstie, she can recall information like no other and that is why she’s an integral part of our team. Her knowledge of the Dry Cleaning and Laundry industry stands her in good stead for answering even the strangest of queries. This is Kirstie's second stint at TCS and as a returnee we are super excited to have her back in the team. If Kirstie ever does lack positivity we just feed her crisps and she’s happy!!

Liam Robertson
Warehouse
Liam is the muscles of the team as he picks and packs the orders every day - just stay clear of the warehouse when he’s driving the forklift! This boy loves his food and if he’s not got a packet of Super noodles on his person at any point his life is unbalanced. Computer games and football are his go to outside of work.
