Towel Service In Cripplegate On The Leisure Round

Yes — Cripplegate sits on the EC2Y round, 7 days, 8.8 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Bassishaw, Aldersgate and Coleman Street — 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 — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is looking for your service entrance.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.
• 33 clubs and spas around EC2Y are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for towel volume rather than adapted to it.

There is no honest price list for towel work. 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 Cripplegate before quoting — the invoice records what you were sold, not what you used.
• The count includes January — which is the one spike everybody knows is coming and most quotes ignore.
• 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.

The par count is set on your busiest two hours, not on an average day. A Cripplegate floor gets through more between five and seven than across the rest of the day combined.

• We count on site at the time it matters — an hour on the Cripplegate floor at peak tells us more than a year of delivery notes.
• 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. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

• Hire — stock, replacement and shrinkage planning are ours; you never reorder.
• 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 — clubs often start on hire and move the spa side across once branding is settled.

Yes. One collection, two specifications. A gym floor wants volume and absorbency; a spa wants handle and appearance.

• 1 spas around EC2Y 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.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee. We would rather keep you on the service than on the paperwork.

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Cripplegate in January and Cripplegate in August are different clubs, and the account should say so.
• 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.

It is oil left in the fibre, not the towel being old. Cold it is fine; warm and damp it is not, and that is after it has reached a member.

• 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 — which matters if you are ever asked to show how stock is handled.

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 — greying and thinning are ours to replace.
