Victorian Bournemouth (244) has suggested how Bournemouth Steam Laundry’s financial prudence, effective marketing, and worker safety contributed to a robust business model that could withstand the pressures of competition and economic fluctuations. Furthermore, the long-term management style of Robert and Catherine Catt made the company a showcase for how employee satisfaction and commercial profit could co-exist. As a proactive manager, Robert Catt combined attention to detail, commitment to safety, regular innovation, and positive media relations. The Catt family connected their family, friends, and employees into a unified network. This perhaps created a supportive and harmonious work-place environment, benefiting all network members, whatever their social position. The success of this approach perhaps appears in the family’s management of the firm extending over at least two generations and several decades.
