What goes wrong
Three things that cost Ham clubs a supplier
Almost nobody around TW10 changes towel supplier to save money. They change because the same thing went wrong three weeks running.
-
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
Four steps, and the Ham rack stops being your problem
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
Ham sits 8.8 miles out on the TW10 round, so the drop is timed against your busiest hours rather than the traffic.

-
The switch
The changeover in Ham overlaps by design — new stock lands while the old contract is still running.
No gap in service
-
The account
The same person handles Ham every week, which is why a change to your par count does not need explaining twice.
One name, not a queue
Running more than one club around Richmond upon Thames? The same account manager covers all of them, on staggered days so no site is left short.
How it is processed
Ham towels are not subcontracted
There are two buildings between your towels and ours, and we own both. Ham collections run 8.8 miles to our Wembley plant. Nothing is passed to a third party in between.
Softener is the usual culprit behind a towel that stops absorbing: it coats the fibre. Gym stock runs without it, which is why ours keeps drying rather than smearing.

Switching supplier in Ham without an empty rack
The reason Ham 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
You are never between suppliers. New stock is on the shelf before the last collection of the old contract.
- After
Par counts adjust once we have seen a month
First counts are an estimate. After four weeks we set them against what you actually used, including what walked out of the door.
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.

About Ham
Why Ham is collected the way it is
A unique riverside village preserved in time, featuring historic houses and vast common land. Unique to Ham.
Ham is collected 7 days on a shared round, so a single studio here costs a stop rather than a journey.

Gym & spa towels in Ham — what operators ask
Is Ham on a towel round?
Yes — Ham sits on the TW10 round, 7 days, 8.8 miles from our Wembley plant.
- Shared with Petersham, Hampton and Strawberry Hill — the same vehicle covers them, so a club here can be added without moving anyone else.
- A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.
- 9 clubs and spas around TW10 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for towel volume rather than adapted to it.
What happens about towels that go missing?
Every Ham club loses towels, and an account that pretends otherwise turns into a monthly argument about counts.
- 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.
How is gym towel laundry priced?
Priced on your peak and your member numbers, not off a rate card. 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 Ham 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 — size barely moves the per-item price.
- The count and the quote cost nothing — including while you are still under contract elsewhere.
Our rack empties at six — can you fix that?
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 — and a single number that averages them fails on the busier one.
- 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.
Is towel hire available to Ham clubs?
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 — your own branded stock comes back to you, the same items, not pooled.
- 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 — clubs often start on hire and move the spa side across once branding is settled.
Is a Ham spa a separate account?
Yes, and they are genuinely different jobs on the same account. The gym side is judged on whether the rack is full; the spa side on how the robe feels.
- 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 — because wet-area linen takes a different kind of soil.
- 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.
Do you lock TW10 clubs into a 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 — Ham in January and Ham 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 — the two overlap by design.
- If it is not working, say so — most problems are a wrong par count or a wrong delivery window, and both are fixable without changing supplier.
Is there a reason Ham towels come back smelling?
Because sweat and body oil build up in the fibre and a general wash does not shift them. 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 — not as the tail end of a bed linen load.
- 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 — which matters if you are ever asked to show how stock is handled.
Something specific to your Ham club?
Ask us directlyThe greenest wash is the one Ham does not repeat
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.
- One vehicle covers TW10, so adding Ham adds a stop rather than a journey.
- Most towels retired early are over-softened rather than worn out.
- Hire stock is rotated through its full life rather than binned when it greys.
