I would initially deal with the same suppliers as the previous owners until you find your feet and have a chance to shop around. After two months or so you will be able to tell if they are the quality you require or not and therefore make an informed decision about whether to keep them or not. We changed our laundry almost straight away as the linen was substandard but the previous owner was pretty much absent and hadn’t kept an eye on the standards so they kept just sending him the rubbish that was left over.

Also not to put you off but once you have gotten through the first month I guarantee that it will be a lot easier it will all seem bewildering and too much but slowly and surely it will start to come together. Don’t be put off if it all seems too much at first it will get better!
