OUR TEAM
NEVILLE & MORENA ROBERTS
Consolidated Linen Service Founders
“Nifty” Nev and “Mum” have been the backbone of CLS from Day 1. Today, Nev continues to work each day tinkering with every machine across the laundry floors and some of his inventions are now manufactured and sold across the industry.
After working tirelessly for the first 20 years since inception, Morena now performs an equally important task; babysitting the growing number of grandchildren within the Roberts clan.
Adam Roberts
Managing Director
#1 Son. Was conned by founding father to defer University studies to lend a hand. The rest they say is history. On the road most weeks visiting customers, suppliers and anyone else who likes to discuss laundry. Number crunching is an unavoidable duty when trapped in the office.
Tom Roberts
Central QLD Operations & Customer Service Manager
#3 Son & supposedly the new & improved latest model. Now ensconced in Gladstone, Tom manages all parts of CLS operations & customer service across Central Queensland. A big job, but after being on the laundry floor since he was born, Tom has a lifetime of experience to call on.
Tamarla Dehnert
Administration Manager
Long-time part of the furniture (and de-facto family member), Tamarla is part financial controller, part everything else that needs to be done. Every company needs a Tamarla.
Amy Penrose
General Manager, Whitsundays
Putting her corporate background to great use, Amy has rolled up her sleeves to get dirty and then clean on the laundry floor. With a growing team of 60 washing and delivering linen for some of Australia’s most iconic hotels & resorts, Amy leads from the front and has the energy and determination to make whatever needs to happen, happen.
Mel Graham
Hervey Bay Laundry Operations Manager
Running one of the largest & most automated laundries in regional Australia is no easy feat. Mel has spent almost a lifetime on the laundry floor and with the skills & commitment to continually improve operations, the CLS flagship laundry is in good hands.

Katrina is a Rocky and formerly Chevron Laundry institution and her commitment to her team & customers never stops, just like her.

Jo Soulle
Customer Service Manager
