Gym & Spa Towels In Lamberhurst Collected To Schedule

Yes — Lamberhurst sits on the TN3 round, 7 days, 43.2 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Goudhurst, Paddock Wood and Tunbridge Wells — the same vehicle covers them, so a club here can be added without moving anyone else.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, which is what 43.2 miles buys you.
• Multi-site operators run on staggered days, so no club is left short while another is being collected from.

Because the wash was wrong, not because the towel is finished. 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 — 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.

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 — in and out, per collection, so the figure is checkable.
• 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 — you pay for the service, not for towels reaching the end of their life.

There is no honest price list for towel work. The number follows turnover, not floor area.

• We count a real week in Lamberhurst 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 — a small Lamberhurst studio pays the same per towel as a club ten times the size.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — including while you are still under contract elsewhere.

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 — the invoice records what you were sold, not what the rack needed.
• 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.

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 — the same towels that left Lamberhurst, never swapped into general stock.
• Most clubs split it — the logo matters on a robe, rarely on a sweat towel.
• 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 — a gym floor and a spa want opposite things from a towel. 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 — 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 — and the hotel laundry page covers how the rooms side is priced.

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 — 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 Lamberhurst 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.
