Towel Service In Tower On The Leisure Round

Yes — Tower sits on the EC3N round, 7 days, 9.6 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Aldgate, Billingsgate and Lime Street — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the streets around Mansion House, Bank and Monument — 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, which is what 9.6 miles buys you.
• 31 clubs and spas around EC3N are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for towel volume rather than adapted to it.

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 — not a statement that only makes sense to us.
• A sudden jump in loss is worth knowing about — it usually means a change on the floor rather than a laundry problem.
• On hire, fair wear is our cost — you pay for the service, not for towels reaching the end of their life.

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

• We count a real week in Tower before quoting — including the evening peak, which is where every estimate falls over.
• 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.

The par count is set on your busiest two hours, not on an average day. 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 — not from a figure on your last invoice.
• 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 — new-year membership is the most predictable spike in the trade and should never be handled as an emergency.
• If you run short twice, the count is wrong — and correcting it is our job, not a favour.

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 Tower, 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.

• 1 spas around EC3N are already on the round — the classification already runs weekly.
• Bath mats run on a heavier classification — because wet-area linen takes a different kind of soil.
• One collection, one invoice — no second supplier for the spa side.
• 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 — Tower in January and Tower 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 — so there is never a Tower evening with an empty rack.
• 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.

It is oil left in the fibre, not the towel being old. The towel smells fine cold and dry, then smells again once it is warm and damp — which a member notices before you do.

• 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 — and the log sits against your account, not a general plant figure.
