PENRITH and Western Sydney are again in the spotlight with a recent visit from Matt Herricks, Head of International Sales at Dexter Laundry, a leading U.S. manufacturer of commercial laundry equipment. Mr Herricks made the journey from the United States to visit local laundromat owners Neville and Margaret Barnier, proud operators of The Busy Bubbles Laundrette in Penrith and Kingswood.
The Barniers have been long-time champions of quality and reliability, choosing to outfit both of their laundromats with state-of-the-art Dexter machines. Their commitment to clean, convenient service has not only won the loyalty of local families and professionals but also caught the eye of international industry leaders.
“Seeing Dexter equipment thriving in a bustling and growing area like Penrith is fantastic,” said Mr Herricks. “But I have to admit, I was just as fascinated by Rugby League and the local love for the Penrith Panthers! It’s clear this community has a strong spirit, both on and off the field.”
Herricks’ visit underscores the increasing international interest in Western Sydney as a region of innovation, entrepreneurship, and community strength. With the Penrith Panthers securing a historic fourth consecutive premiership last year, and businesses like The Busy Bubbles Laundrette setting high standards in customer service, Penrith continues to attract attention well beyond Australian shores.
Neville and Margaret say as The Busy Bubbles Laundrette is a corporate member of the Panthers Premiership Club and the preferred laundry provider for the Panthers team uniforms, they were thrilled to arrange a tour of Panthers Academy for Mr Herricks to really show him what a champion Rugby League team is all about. “We love our community, our Panthers, and take real pride in offering clean, reliable laundromat services,” said Margaret. “Having someone like Matt come all the way from the U.S. to see what we do here is just another sign that Penrith is on the rise.”
The Busy Bubbles Laundrette offers 24/7 self-service in Penrith, staffed support at Kingswood (Monday to Friday, 10am to 2pm), and even a drop-off and pick-up point at the Wallacia Post Office. For busy locals and visiting guests alike, it’s all about making wash day easy.
