A DRY cleaning firm has clinched a major contract.

Norths Cleaners, based in Accrington, will carry out the dry cleaning for 12 Moss Bros dress hire stores in Lancashire and West Yorkshire.

"We have been working for Moss Bros for more than five years and we are delighted to have been chosen to undertake this additional work," said Mr John Hargreaves, managing director.

"We are expecting to be particularly busy over the new year and into the year 2000 as more people hire dinner suits and shirts to celebrate the millennium over the next 12 months."

Norths, founded in 1946, also has branches in Burnley, Darwen and Colne and employs around 30 people.
