Towel Service In Cordwainer On The Leisure Round

Yes — Cordwainer sits on the EC4M round, 7 days, 8.9 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Bread Street, Vintry and City of London — 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 — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, which is what 8.9 miles buys you.
• 35 clubs and spas around EC4M are already on this round — which is why the timings suit an evening peak rather than a hotel check-out.

By counting against your peak rather than your daily average. 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 — the invoice records what you were sold, not what the rack needed.
• A Monday evening and a Sunday morning are different businesses — the par level has to survive both, so it is set against the worse of the two.
• 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 — we reset it against real usage rather than the opening estimate.

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 — hire what nobody looks at, keep your own name on what a member wears.
• You can move a line between the two later — it is a change to the sheet, not a new agreement.

Yes — a gym floor and a spa want opposite things from a towel. Volume on one side of the building, finish on the other.

• 1 spas around EC4M are already on the round — so robe work is not something we are learning on your account.
• 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 — the bed linen side can go on the same round.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee. Nothing in the agreement is designed to make leaving awkward.

• 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 — the two overlap by design.
• If it is not working, say so — we would rather correct the account than lose it.

Because sweat and body oil build up in the fibre and a general wash does not shift them. A towel can pass inspection dry and fail it in use, because oil only announces itself once the towel warms up.

• Gym towelling runs on its own classification — Cordwainer towels are classified for the soil they actually carry.
• 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 — and the fix costs nothing but a change of classification.
• Every load is temperature logged — and the log sits against your account, not a general plant figure.

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 — and we would rather flag it than absorb it quietly.
• On hire, fair wear is our cost — not a charge back to you.

It is quoted, not tariffed. Towel volume depends on member numbers and how hard the floor turns over, so a published list would be wrong for most clubs.

• We count a real week in Cordwainer before quoting — including the evening peak, which is where every estimate falls over.
• 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 — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.
