Bookkeeper is the word with 3 pairs of consecutive letters.
If you want to get a little esoteric (and a little disputed):

WOOLLOOMMOOLOO, according to the Australian Encyclopedia and various editions of Encyclopaedia Britannica, is the original spelling of Woolloomooloo, a suburb and bay in Sydney, Australia
