About Us
Excellence in Linen Management
Diamant Linen Ltd was founded in 2022 by Conor Hennignan and Mal Teeling, who wanted to offer the hotels in Co. Kerry a reliable, local linen service that didn’t compromise on quality.
At the time, the hospitality industry had limited options when it came to who handled their linen management, which often led to unmet expectations.
Diamant was built to change that. Since launching, Diamant Linen Ltd has enjoyed fantastic growth and now works with premium hotels across Killarney, Tralee, and Kenmare. This rapid rise is down to our premium products and our ability to offer rapid turnarounds and quicker delivery times.
As we continue to grow and service more clients, we remain committed to supporting Co. Kerry, both with our products and also with our hiring of people from the area. Further investment in our laundry systems will provide us with more facilities to work with more hotels, ensuring they can benefit from a more convenient, environmentally-friendly service that does not compromise on quality.
Everyone at Diamant is working toward the same goal – to raise the bar for linen supply and management in the County Kerry and Munster region.

Who We Work With
Our products and services allow us to work with some of the biggest and best hotels in Co. Kerry.
What We Stand For
Our local roots and deep understanding of the hospitality industry in the south-west of Ireland set us apart from others in the industry and are two of the many reasons we have been able to scale and help more and more hotels since 2022.
Local Presence
We are extremely proud to be from and to be based in Farranfore, Co. Kerry. Our position in the local area not only allows us to offer a faster turnaround service to hotels in Killarney, Tralee, and Kenmare, ensuring they are never short on linen, but also means we can support the local economy by hiring Kerrymen and Kerrywomen!
High-Quality Products
We know that the upscale and boutique hotels in Co. Kerry and Munster need access to the highest standards of linens. From bed sheets right the way through to napkins, their guests expect the best. By investing in the latest equipment and products, we can meet the exacting standards that these hotels have.
Sustainability
Our location within Co. Kerry minimises the impact transport can have on the local environment. Typically, our clients are reachable by lorry within 30 to 40 minutes. We also have invested heavily in our water filtration systems, which will reclaim 80-85% of all the water that would have otherwise gone to waste.
