Gym & Spa Towels In Wickham Collected To Schedule

Yes — Wickham sits on the RG20 round, 7 days, 49.7 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Welford, Boxford and Great Shefford — 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 49.7 miles buys you.
• Multi-site operators run on staggered days, so no club is left short while another is being collected from.

It is quoted, not tariffed. Two clubs with the same membership can differ twofold in towel usage depending on the floor.

• We count a real week in Wickham 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 Wickham studio pays the same per towel as a club ten times the size.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.

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

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Wickham clubs run half and half.

• Hire — the rack is maintained for you, including the towels that fail first.
• Wash-only — item for item, never substituted.
• Most clubs split it — hired gym towels where nobody reads a label, own-branded robes in the spa where the branding is the point.
• 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. A gym floor wants volume and absorbency; a spa wants handle and appearance.

• Robes are laundered to keep their handle — softness is the point on a robe, and it is achieved by the wash rather than by softener.
• Bath mats run on a heavier classification — than towelling, and mixing the two shortens the life of both.
• One collection, one invoice — even where the two sides of the building want different specs.
• 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. 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 — there is no cost to finding out.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — the two overlap by design.
• If it is not working, say so — we would rather correct the account than lose it.

It is oil left in the fibre, not the towel being old. 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 — not as the tail end of a bed linen load.
• 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.

Every Wickham 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 — so the rack does not empty because the maths assumed nothing walked.
• 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 — not a charge back to you.
