Machael Anderson, Owner of Lion Consulting

Machael’s Mission

With over 30 years of experience in the commercial laundry industry, I have worked with many consultants. My experience has seen them present elaborate plans and point out obvious deficiencies without seeing them through, at a very high financial burden. Often times I did not feel like the relationship was built from a partnership or team based platform.

I formed this company to cultivate this relationship between our customers and our TEAM. Lion Consulting takes pride in saving you money. We will make sure that we see the plan through and you are 100% satisfied with the result.

Client Testimonials

I have worked with Machael Anderson for over 20 years of his and my career. We’ve worked together at two different companies. The first was Hospital Central Services and the second was Paris Companies. In my 43 years in this business, I have managed hundreds of managers and been responsible for many individual plants. From an operational and technical standpoint, Machael is the best I have ever worked with! To know the systems is one thing, but to be able to teach the system management to your direct reports is the key. Machael has that ability. He can relate to the CEO’s as well as the hourly employee working in soil/sort. When you build a team of managers, or build an hourly working staff, you need to be able to trust the coordinator, or the guy in charge. Machael exudes confidence and knowledge which resonates with all that he manages.

I have over 50 years of experience in the laundry industry and Machael began his journey with me as a supervisor approximately 25 years ago. I have followed his progression and can say without question, that I have not met a more qualified operations manager in the industry. If I were to start a new business today or require any consulting within an organization, there is no doubt he would be my first choice.

Machael is the consummate business consulting professional as he knows how to put everyone at ease the moment he enters the room. He is diligent about collecting information and insists on developing custom reports to give a very helpful presentation. Most importantly, he always indicates the practical application his work has for our organization and future revenue generation. He will help your company grow and become more profitable.

Machael also has a strong group communications skill set, which is very useful in his business consulting career. Machael’s professional and refined approach make his work much more valuable to clients. He always has a great way of keeping everyone updated on any changes that he has made to his initial recommendations. Machael should be your next business consultant and I am available to answer any questions you may have.

I owned a National Specialty Linen Company for close to 25 years. Our clients expect the highest quality of service and products from us. With this said, I decided to open my own Laundry facility, and I hired Machael to help set up the plant, staff it, and operate it as well. Machael is the most qualified plant operator that I know. Not only was he available to guide me through the complicated process of opening the plant, but he had incredibly insightful comments and advice on how to do so efficiently and effectively. His professional demeanor, his desire to achieve greatness, and his willingness to tackle any problem make him an unparalleled leader in our industry.

In opening our laundry facility, he identified and hired a full team of experienced laundry workers. He managed them, and he motivated them to work hard, and consequently, they all took pride in their work. Under his leadership, we have a laundry family and it makes me incredibly proud to see how the team cares for each other. With a safety-first mentality, he insisted all employees complete training and maintain a stellar safety record in our operations. With daily reports to me, he is not only an effective communicator but he works to create cost savings for this facet of my business. Beyond minimizing our rewash rate and processing the often-large volumes of dirty linens we generate in a timely fashion, his goal to make my laundry a profit center (beyond just servicing my needs internally) exemplifies gold standard management. Together, we are taking on new clients and creating a workflow that will enable our laundry to provide a profit center for my business over time.

I would highly recommend Machael to anyone looking to open or operate a laundry plant. With a focus on quality, solutions, and team building, Machael’s positive attitude and extensive experience enable him to be a leader in plant management.
