What goes wrong

Three things that cost Richmond clubs a supplier

Almost nobody around TW9 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

    Sweat and body oil build up in the fibre and a general wash does not shift them. The towel smells clean cold, then smells again once it is warm and damp — which a member notices before you do.

  • 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 Richmond 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.

Serving TW9 Since 2009
  1. The count

    An hour on the Richmond floor at the time it actually matters. The number that matters is the five-to-seven number, not the daily one.

    An hour, at peak

  2. The round

    The van is already in TW9. Joining that round is what keeps a single studio priced as a stop rather than a journey.

    TW9 · 7 days

  3. The switch

    The changeover in Richmond overlaps by design — new stock lands while the old contract is still running.

    No gap in service

  4. The account

    One name, who has seen your floor at peak. Changes get made on a call rather than logged as a ticket.

    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

Richmond towels are not subcontracted

There are two buildings between your towels and ours, and we own both. Richmond collections run 6.9 miles to our Wembley plant. Nothing is passed to a third party in between.

Gym towelling is its own classification. Sweat and body oil need a different wash to bed linen or table linen — get it wrong and the towel smells clean until it warms up.

Switching supplier in Richmond without an empty rack

Most Richmond clubs stay with a supplier they have stopped rating, because changing one feels like a risk in the week membership is highest. It is not.

  1. Before you commit

    We count your peak, not your average

    We count the Richmond floor between five and seven rather than take a number off your last invoice — the invoice records what you were sold, not what the rack needed.

  2. The handover

    Stock lands before the old supplier stops

    The two contracts overlap on purpose, so no Richmond evening is covered by rationing what is left on the rack.

  3. 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.

Spa robes and folded towels ready for Richmond guests

The week you switch is the week nobody notices.

    Running a high-end spa means going through hundreds of bathrobes and spa towels daily. Our rotation stays fully stocked with exceptionally soft, hygienically pristine textiles. Guest comfort has noticeably improved since we switched.
    Siobhan O'Connor Spa Operations Director · Luxury health club & spa
  • Whether we are catering a wedding or a corporate launch, linen presentation has to be immaculate. We get crisp, vacuum-sealed table linens and pristine chef jackets every time — a genuine operational ally.
    Julian Bennett Executive Director of Operations · Catering & event production
  • Our membership expects discretion and immaculate standards. Dining room linens and guest suites are laundered to a bespoke standard, and the discretion around our account has been absolute.
    Alistair Finch Club Secretary & General Manager · Private members' club
  • Our members expect fresh sweat towels immediately after back-to-back spinning classes. They handle our daily volume seamlessly, and I would single out the punctuality and the clean, long-lasting scent of the eco-friendly detergents.
    Marcus Thorne Studio Manager · Boutique fitness studio
  • We rely on clean bolster covers, fleece blankets and eye pillows. Delicate fabrics are treated with care while still getting a deep, hypoallergenic sanitisation, and everything comes back beautifully presented.
    Hannah Sterling Studio Coordinator · Yoga & pilates studio
  • LP Laundry has been an absolute game-changer for our 45-room boutique hotel. Turnaround on our bed linens and heavy plush towels is inside 24 hours without a single delay. We could not be happier with the crisp, immaculate finish.
    Charlotte Vance Front of House & Accommodation Manager · 45-room boutique hotel
  • For high-end short-stay apartments, guest reviews live and die by linen quality. We get hotel-grade crispness that consistently earns us five-star cleanliness ratings, and the communication lines are short when something needs resolving.
    Beatrice Dupont Head of Housekeeping · Luxury serviced apartments
  • Table presentation is everything in Mayfair. They handle our heavy cotton damask tablecloths and chef whites with real precision — stains vanish and the starch finish is always spot on. The daily collection has never let us down.

About Richmond

Richmond, specifically

The pinnacle of riverside elegance, world-famous for its park, theater, and historic views. Unique to Richmond.

What makes Richmond its own job is when the demand lands. Towel volume stacks into two hours, so the round is timed against that rather than against the distance.

Gym & spa towels in Richmond — what operators ask

Do you cover Richmond?

Yes — Richmond sits on the TW9 round, 7 days, 6.9 miles from our Wembley plant.

  • Shared with St Margarets, North Sheen and Petersham — the same vehicle covers them, so a club here can be added without moving anyone else.
  • The driver knows the streets around North Sheen, St Margarets and Richmond — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
  • A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, which is what 6.9 miles buys you.
  • 9 clubs and spas around TW9 are already on this round — we are not learning the area on your account.
Are robes done differently from gym towels?

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

  • Robes are laundered to keep their handle — a robe that feels like a gym towel has been washed like one.
  • 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.
Can we leave if it is not working?

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 — rather than holding you to a January volume through a quiet August.
  • 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 — you are never between suppliers.
  • If it is not working, say so — we would rather correct the account than lose it.
What stops gym towels smelling?

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 — that is a wash problem, not a replacement problem.
  • Every load is temperature logged — so there is a record behind the classification rather than an assurance.
Who pays for towels that walk?

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 — rather than a running balance nobody can reconcile.
  • 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 — greying and thinning are ours to replace.
Do you quote, or work off a tariff?

Priced on your peak and your member numbers, not off a rate card. The number follows turnover, not floor area.

  • We count a real week in Richmond before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
  • The count includes January — peak months are the ones the par count has to survive.
  • No minimum order — a small Richmond 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.
Do you count against our busiest hour?

The par count is set on your busiest two hours, not on an average day. A Richmond 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 — 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 — a Richmond club in January is not the same club in August, and the account should say so.
  • If you run short twice, the count is wrong — a second shortage is a counting error, not bad luck.
Do you hire towels, or only launder ours in Richmond?

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

  • Hire — the rack is maintained for you, including the towels that fail first.
  • 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.

Getting it right first time in Richmond

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.

  • Richmond is a stop on a round that was already running, not a van dispatched for one club.
  • Towelling washed without softener keeps absorbing, so it is replaced on wear rather than on feel.
  • Stock is graded and rotated instead of written off at the first mark.
  • Over 80% of our central London fleet is fully electric.
