We stopped holding spare linen once the CO3 round settled in. Replacements for worn items are included rather than invoiced, and that consistency is what we were missing before.

What is the smallest account you take in CO3?
No fixed minimum. Because Colchester is already on the CO3 round, we can take small regular volumes that would not justify a dedicated run.
- Priced per item by linen type and volume band — higher volumes bring the unit rate down.
- Volumes flex with your season rather than a fixed contracted quantity.
How long is the commitment for a Colchester account?
No. Colchester accounts run on flexible, rolling terms.
- Par counts reviewed as occupancy rises and falls, so a quiet January does not carry peak-season volumes.
- Notice periods set out up front in your written quote.
- Phased start — begin with one site or one linen category and extend across Colchester once you are happy.
How do you handle hygiene and compliance for Colchester venues?
Every commercial load passes a controlled thermal disinfection stage under an ISO 9001:2015 quality system, supporting FSA requirements for food-handling sites in Colchester.
- Clean and dirty separation in the plant to prevent recontamination.
- Sealed for transport — linen stays wrapped until it reaches your CO3 storeroom.
- Documentation on request for your own compliance file.
