Gym & Spa Towels In Thatcham Collected To Schedule

Yes — Thatcham sits on the RG19 round, 7 days, 43.4 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Cold Ash, Newbury and Brimpton — 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, because of that distance.
• 1 clubs and spas around RG19 are already on this round — we are not learning the area on your account.

The par count is set on your busiest two hours, not on an average day. A Thatcham 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 — 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 — and correcting it is our job, not a favour.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• Hire — we own the stock, replace what wears out and carry the cost of a towel that greys in month two.
• Wash-only — the same towels that left Thatcham, never swapped into general stock.
• 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 — without reopening the account.

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 — 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.

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 — 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 — you are never between suppliers.
• 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.

Because the wash was wrong, not because the towel is finished. 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 — one general cycle addresses neither properly.
• 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 — and the log sits against your account, not a general plant figure.

Every Thatcham 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 — 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 — not a charge back to you.

It is quoted, not tariffed. The number follows turnover, not floor area.

• We count a real week in Thatcham 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 — size barely moves the per-item price.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — including while you are still under contract elsewhere.
