About Us Thanks for taking an interest in us and our business! In June 2000, Paul Addison and Karen Raymond bought Atlas Chem-Dry from Paul's retiring boss, Ken Pollok. At first they could only afford half of the business, and it wasn't until 2005 that they were able to expand to include the southern franchise areas that extend to Moana. In August 2008 Atlas Chem-Dry bought A1 Chem-Dry, doubling customer numbers and extending their coverage right out to Gawler. During the transitioning years, fridge magnets were distributed with all the following numbers: 8374 2333, 1300 730 043, 8374 0073 and now 8269 2626. All of these numbers still work, although we now only advertise 8269 2626. The southern area was also renamed A-Class Chem-Dry for a few years but now Atlas again. All of the A1 Chem-Dry phone numbers also now redirect to the Prospect base of Atlas Chem-Dry, so whether you dial 1300 302 307, 8284 0329, 8396 5333, 8387 3876 or 8255 8591, you'll find us! Paul Addison is a perfectionist whose excellent work and client rapport have earned him many loyal customers over the past fourteen years. He puts the satisfaction of his customers above all else and is always resourceful. He trains his staff to work in this way. Paul and Karen employ staff with 'can do' attitudes who are hard working individuals, with a similar, service-orientated work ethic. We are committed to excellence with Chem-Dry's carbonated cleaning system, which we believe is the best on the market. Life and business are all about people. We'd like to introduce ours...    Paul & Karen have been making a marriage and business partnership work successfully for 9 years.
