Gym & Spa Towels In Bearsted Collected To Schedule

Yes — Bearsted sits on the ME14 round, 7 days, 41.6 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Maidstone, Coxheath and Aylesford — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the streets around Bearsted — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, which is what 41.6 miles buys you.
• Multi-site operators run on staggered days, so no club is left short while another is being collected from.

We count at peak, because that is the only hour the count has to survive. Towel demand does not spread evenly across opening hours — it stacks, and an average hides exactly that.

• We count on site at the time it matters — not from a figure on your last invoice.
• A Monday evening and a Sunday morning are different businesses — which is why the count is taken twice rather than once.
• January is planned in — the one spike everyone knows is coming is the one worth building into the count.
• If you run short twice, the count is wrong — and correcting it is our job, not a favour.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• Hire — stock, replacement and shrinkage planning are ours; you never reorder.
• Wash-only — item for item, never substituted.
• Most clubs split it — the logo matters on a robe, rarely on a sweat towel.
• You can move a line between the two later — clubs often start on hire and move the spa side across once branding is settled.

Yes — a gym floor and a spa want opposite things from a towel. A gym floor wants volume and absorbency; a spa wants handle and appearance.

• Robes are laundered to keep their handle — which is a different process from turning round sweat towels at volume.
• Bath mats run on a heavier classification — than towelling, and mixing the two shortens the life of both.
• One collection, one invoice — the split is in the classification, not in the account.
• Hotel spas are a normal account — with one account manager across both.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee. The account should hold because it works, not because leaving is expensive.

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — you are not held to a peak figure through a quiet quarter.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — there is no cost to finding out.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so there is never a Bearsted evening with an empty rack.
• If it is not working, say so — we would rather correct the account than lose it.

Because the wash was wrong, not because the towel is finished. The towel smells fine cold and dry, then smells again once it is warm and damp — which a member notices before you do.

• Gym towelling runs on its own classification — the programme is chosen for body oil rather than inherited from whatever ran before.
• Oil needs a different temperature from sweat — and softener makes it worse by coating the fibre, which is why we do not use it on gym stock.
• Towels that stop absorbing are usually over-softened, not worn out — and the fix costs nothing but a change of classification.
• Every load is temperature logged — so there is a record behind the classification rather than an assurance.

Shrinkage is normal and predictable. We plan for it rather than dispute it.

• Expected loss is built into the par count at setup — rather than discovered in month three.
• You get the actual numbers each cycle — not a statement that only makes sense to us.
• A sudden jump in loss is worth knowing about — a step change in shrinkage is information, not an invoice line.
• On hire, fair wear is our cost — not a charge back to you.

It is quoted, not tariffed. Two clubs with the same membership can differ twofold in towel usage depending on the floor.

• We count a real week in Bearsted before quoting — the invoice records what you were sold, not what you used.
• The count includes January — a Bearsted club quoted off an August week runs short in the month that matters.
• No minimum order — so a boutique studio is an ordinary account and is priced per item like any other.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.
