What goes wrong
Towel demand in Broad Street is not spread across the day
Clubs in Broad Street rarely leave a supplier over price. They leave after a run of evenings where the rack was empty at peak, or a batch came back smelling of damp.
-
Running out at the evening peak
Between five and seven the rack empties faster than the rest of the day combined. An average hides that completely, which is why average-based counts fail at peak.
-
Towels that come back smelling
A towel can pass inspection dry and fail it in use. Oil left in the fibre only announces itself once the towel warms up, which is after it has reached a member.
-
Stock that never quite balances
Loss is normal and predictable. Pretending otherwise is what turns a towel account into a reconciliation exercise nobody wins.
How it works
Getting a Broad Street club onto the round
Most of the work happens before the first collection. Get the peak-hour count right and the towel rack stops being something the duty manager thinks about.
-
The count
We count at peak because that is the only hour the par level has to survive. Every other hour looks fine on any count.
An hour, at peak
-
The round
Broad Street sits 9.2 miles out on the EC2N round, so the drop is timed against your busiest hours rather than the traffic.

The switch
The changeover in Broad Street overlaps by design — new stock lands while the old contract is still running.
No gap in service
-
The account
One name, who has seen your floor at peak. Changes get made on a call rather than logged as a ticket.
One name, not a queue
Running more than one club around City of London? The same account manager covers all of them, on staggered days so no site is left short.
How it is processed
Broad Street towels are not subcontracted
There are two buildings between your towels and ours, and we own both. Broad Street collections run 9.2 miles to our Wembley plant. Nothing is passed to a third party in between.
Gym towelling is its own classification. Sweat and body oil need a different wash to bed linen or table linen — get it wrong and the towel smells clean until it warms up.

Switching supplier in Broad Street without an empty rack
The reason Broad Street operators put up with a supplier they have stopped rating is timing: there is no good week to gamble on towels. That is a scheduling problem, not a reason to stay.
- Before you commit
We count your peak, not your average
An hour on site at the time it actually matters. Towel demand stacks into two hours, and an average hides exactly that.
- The handover
Stock lands before the old supplier stops
The two contracts overlap on purpose, so no Broad Street evening is covered by rationing what is left on the rack.
- After
Par counts adjust once we have seen a month
Month one is a measurement. From month two the par count reflects your real peak and your real shrinkage rather than an opening guess.
Nothing here needs you to be out of contract first — the count and the quote cost nothing.
The week you switch is the week nobody notices.

Back-to-back conferences and galas mean huge quantities of table skirts, stage linens and catering napkins at short notice. They have never missed a deadline on any of it.
Danielle Moreau Events Logistics Manager · Corporate event venue -
As a family-run Victorian B&B we need a partner who understands traditional hospitality. Our heritage cotton sheets are treated with real care, the drivers are friendly and the weekly delivery is consistent.
Arthur Pendelton Proprietor & Manager · Traditional bed & breakfast -
Grooming generates heavy, fur-filled towels and specialist bedding that a standard machine cannot handle. Everything is collected and returned allergen-free, fluffy and sterilised. Top marks for taking on the difficult jobs.
Natasha Petrov Head Groomer & Manager · Pet grooming & daycare -
Whether we are catering a wedding or a corporate launch, linen presentation has to be immaculate. We get crisp, vacuum-sealed table linens and pristine chef jackets every time — a genuine operational ally.
Julian Bennett Executive Director of Operations · Catering & event production -
Our membership expects discretion and immaculate standards. Dining room linens and guest suites are laundered to a bespoke standard, and the discretion around our account has been absolute.
Alistair Finch Club Secretary & General Manager · Private members' club -
Running a high-end spa means going through hundreds of bathrobes and spa towels daily. Our rotation stays fully stocked with exceptionally soft, hygienically pristine textiles. Guest comfort has noticeably improved since we switched.
Siobhan O'Connor Spa Operations Director · Luxury health club & spa -
Our members expect fresh sweat towels immediately after back-to-back spinning classes. They handle our daily volume seamlessly, and I would single out the punctuality and the clean, long-lasting scent of the eco-friendly detergents.
Marcus Thorne Studio Manager · Boutique fitness studio -
We rely on clean bolster covers, fleece blankets and eye pillows. Delicate fabrics are treated with care while still getting a deep, hypoallergenic sanitisation, and everything comes back beautifully presented.

The area
Broad Street — what the round has to work around
A dynamic micro-neighbourhood in Broad Street with a growing reputation for independent local life. Unique to Broad Street.
What makes Broad Street its own job is when the demand lands. Towel volume stacks into two hours, so the round is timed against that rather than against the distance.

Asked most often about Broad Street towel accounts
Do you collect in Broad Street?
Yes — Broad Street sits on the EC2N round, 7 days, 9.2 miles from our Wembley plant.
- Shared with Cornhill, Bishopsgate and Langbourn — the same vehicle covers them, so a club here can be added without moving anyone else.
- The driver knows the streets around Mansion House, Old Street and Bank — which matters when the drop has to land before the evening rush.
- A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because Broad Street is only 9.2 miles out.
- 34 clubs and spas around EC2N are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for towel volume rather than adapted to it.
Do Broad Street clubs have to buy their own towels?
Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Broad Street clubs run half and half.
- Hire — we own the stock, replace what wears out and carry the cost of a towel that greys in month two.
- Wash-only — item for item, never substituted.
- Most clubs split it — hired gym towels where nobody reads a label, own-branded robes in the spa where the branding is the point.
- You can move a line between the two later — without reopening the account.
Can you handle a spa as well as a gym floor?
Yes. One collection, two specifications. A gym floor wants volume and absorbency; a spa wants handle and appearance.
- 1 spas around EC2N are already on the round — and the timings suit treatment rooms as well as a gym floor.
- Bath mats run on a heavier classification — and they are counted separately for the same reason.
- One collection, one invoice — no second supplier for the spa side.
- Hotel spas are a normal account — the bed linen side can go on the same round.
Is there a minimum term?
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 — Broad Street in January and Broad Street in August are different clubs, and the account should say so.
- Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — we will count your peak while you are still under someone else.
- Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so there is never a Broad Street evening with an empty rack.
- If it is not working, say so — the fix is usually a number on the sheet rather than a new contract.
Our towels smell after a few hours — why?
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 — softener is the usual culprit: it smells pleasant and stops the towel drying anything.
- Towels that stop absorbing are usually over-softened, not worn out — that is a wash problem, not a replacement problem.
- Every load is temperature logged — and the log sits against your account, not a general plant figure.
Members take towels — how is that counted?
Towels walk. The question is whether the account expects it.
- Expected loss is built into the par count at setup — which is the difference between a working count and an optimistic one.
- You get the actual numbers each cycle — rather than a running balance nobody can reconcile.
- 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.
What would a Broad Street club cost to supply?
Priced on your peak and your member numbers, not off a rate card. The number follows turnover, not floor area.
- We count a real week in Broad Street before quoting — the invoice records what you were sold, not what you used.
- The count includes January — peak months are the ones the par count has to survive.
- 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 — and commit you to nothing.
What stops us running short in the evening?
We count at peak, because that is the only hour the count has to survive. Every other hour looks fine on any count, which is why averages keep passing and racks keep emptying.
- 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 — a second shortage is a counting error, not bad luck.
Something specific to your Broad Street club?
Ask us directlyRewashing Broad Street linen is the real environmental cost
Most of the environmental cost of gym towelling is rewashing and replacing it. Getting the classification right the first time does more than any claim on a van.
- The EC2N round is a shared journey rather than a separate trip to Broad Street.
- Towelling washed without softener keeps absorbing, so it is replaced on wear rather than on feel.
- Hire stock is rotated through its full life rather than binned when it greys.
