Hotel Linen In Aldersgate Collected On Round

Yes — Aldersgate sits on the EC1A round, 8.6 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Cripplegate, Farringdon Within and Farringdon Without — one van, one run, which is what keeps the cost of a small account sensible.
• The driver knows the roads around Mansion House, Old Street and Bank — which sounds trivial until a supplier who does not misses a morning.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

Whichever suits the property — and it can change as the property does.

• On hire we hold and replace the stock, including the spares you would otherwise be storing.
• Wash-only keeps your linen yours, processed to the same spec.
• Mixed is common — most properties end up somewhere between the two.
• Stock ageing is our cost, not yours — the par level does not quietly drop over a season while nobody is counting.

A linen audit, an agreed par level, and a collection day.

• No tender and no tie-in — you stay because it works, or you leave in a month.
• Par levels set per room type, so housekeeping never opens an empty cupboard.
• The audit is free and you keep the numbers whether or not you use us.
• Nothing needs to end first — if you are tied in, we plan the start date around it. The audit and the plan cost you nothing either way.

A standing slot, 7 days — a time, not a window.

• Same driver each week — continuity matters more here than most suppliers admit.
• Planned around check-out, not against it — the van should not be waiting on your team.
• Changeable — tell the account manager and it changes that week.
• A missed slot is not a lost week — the plant is 8.6 miles away, so a disrupted run is a second trip rather than a note on next week's schedule.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper and simpler than separate accounts.

• One account manager across every City of London site.
• One invoice, consolidated but itemised — one payment, full visibility.
• Par stock tracked per site — without it, stock migrates to whichever site shouts loudest.
• One invoice, itemised by property — so nobody reconciles it by hand at the end of the month.

No minimum. Minimums exist to cover a dedicated trip. This is not one.

• Same turnaround regardless of size — the process does not know how many rooms you have.
• No small-volume premium, because you are not the reason the van is on the road.
• Seasonal properties welcome — we would rather hold the slot than lose the relationship.
• No exit fee either — the arrangement holds because it works, not because it is signed.

Worked out with your team in advance — we would rather ask twice than guess once.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — chosen with housekeeping rather than assumed from the front elevation.
• Timed around Mansion House and the traffic that comes with it.
• This is where new suppliers come unstuck — a supplier who has not walked the building finds out on your floor, not theirs.
• No delivery surcharge for the distance — the round already passes, so an extra stop costs us minutes rather than miles.
• Holiday cover does not reset the arrangement — the arrangement survives a change of driver, which is when most suppliers slip.

At our own plant in Wembley, 8.6 miles from Aldersgate. Nothing is subcontracted to a third site.

• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
• One process, one audit — traceability only works when there is one chain to trace.
• You can visit. Clients who come tend to sign.
• The chain is short on purpose — we own the plant, so a complaint has one address rather than two.
