Hotel Linen In Whitechapel Collected On Round

Yes — Whitechapel sits on the E1 round, 10.0 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Portsoken, Aldgate and Spitalfields — the same vehicle covers them, which is why we can add a property here without moving anyone else's slot.
• The driver knows the roads around Whitechapel, Wapping and Liverpool Street — the same crew runs it each week, so nobody is reading a map on your loading bay.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

Both are available, and moving between them does not mean a new account.

• On hire we hold and replace the stock, including the spares you would otherwise be storing.
• Wash-only keeps your linen yours, processed to the same spec.
• Mixed is common — there is no rule that says it has to be one or the other.
• Hire covers replacement — greying, fraying and losses are carried by us rather than appearing on your invoice each quarter, which is usually the larger number over a year.

A linen audit, an agreed par level, and a collection day.

• No tender and no tie-in — thirty days notice, no exit fee.
• Par levels set per room type, and revisited once we have seen a full month of real usage.
• The audit is free and you keep the numbers whether or not you use us.
• Nothing needs to end first — if you are tied in, we plan the start date around it. The audit and the plan cost you nothing either way.

A standing slot, 7 days — a time, not a window.

• Same driver each week — so housekeeping hands over to someone who knows the property.
• Planned around check-out, not against it — the van should not be waiting on your team.
• Changeable — if the time stops suiting you we move it.
• A missed slot is not a lost week — the plant is 10.0 miles away, so a disrupted run is a second trip rather than a note on next week's schedule.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper and simpler than separate accounts.

• One account manager across every Tower Hamlets site.
• One invoice, with per-site lines, so finance and operations can both use it.
• Par stock tracked per site — so a quiet property does not quietly fund a busy one.
• One invoice, itemised by property — which is what stops one busy property quietly subsidising a quiet one.

No minimum. The round is already passing, which is the whole reason we can say that.

• Same turnaround regardless of size — the process does not know how many rooms you have.
• No small-volume premium, which is the part most suppliers will not put in writing.
• Seasonal properties welcome — we would rather hold the slot than lose the relationship.
• You can stop — if it is not working, you say so and we collect our stock. A contract you cannot leave is a contract we would rather not have.

Settled at the audit, written onto the E1 round sheet, and not revisited on the day.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — whichever actually works for your building, agreed once and then fixed.
• Timed around Whitechapel and the traffic that comes with it.
• Nine times in ten, a missed first collection is an access problem — a supplier who has not walked the building finds out on your floor, not theirs.
• Distance does not appear on the invoice — the round already passes, so an extra stop costs us minutes rather than miles.
• Holiday cover does not reset the arrangement — access details live on the round sheet, so a stand-in is not knocking on the front door.

At our own plant in Wembley, 10.0 miles from Whitechapel. Nothing is subcontracted to a third site.

• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
• One process, one audit — traceability only works when there is one chain to trace.
• You can visit. It is an hour out of your day and it answers most of the questions on this page.
• Nothing is passed to a third party — a supplier who cannot tell you which building your linen is in cannot promise you much about how it was washed.
