HOSPITALITY LINEN SPECIALISTS
TONROSE DISCUSS THEIR 120
YEARS IN BUSINESS PROVIDING QUALITY
SERVICE TO THE HOTEL INDUSTRY
T
onrose has been supplying textiles
to the laundry, hospitality and
leisure trade sectors for over 120
years, making us one of Europe’s
most established suppliers of bedroom,
bathroom, table and kitchen linens.
The family-owned company is led by
industry leading textile and hospitality
experts, who are the ‘go-to’ when
Housekeepers and Purchasing Managers
need both sound advice and market-
leading products.
Whether servicing a commercial laundry,
large-scale hotel, boutique B&B or vibrant
care home, Tonrose is tried, tested and
trusted to provide the right products and
the best advice every time.
Our service approach has never changed
- to deliver stylish, comfortable and durable
linen at great value with ranges designed for
hospitality and engineered for laundries.
We regularly refine and improve our
products to ensure that the 2.5million
items that we hold in stock at all times
meet our clients’ requirements.
Our experience shows that a quick
turnaround is everything in the hospitality
and laundry sectors, which is why we can
deliver next day to 98% of UK addresses.
Coupled with our bespoke computerised
management system, it means we’re one
of the most dynamic and responsive in the
textiles industry.
Tonrose offers an extensive product
range, geared to cater to all hospitality
occasions. Clients have the pick of five
different bedroom product ranges offering
duvet covers, bed sheets and pillow cases,
to filled collections of duvets, pillows,
mattress covers and protectors. As well
as an extensive bathroom range, Tonrose
also specialises in dining, with 100% cotton
or polyester jet-spun linen available in a
kaleidoscope of colourfast colours.
We also recognise that no two businesses
24 Housekeeping management
are the same and neither are their linen
requirements. That’s why we make table
linen, towels and bed linen just the way our
clients want them with a bespoke service
to complement our high-volume production.
Tonrose is able to guarantee the very
best quality because we only work with a
select network of hand-picked global supply
partners, from Pakistan, India and Turkey
to Portugal, China, the UK and Ireland.
Each supplier is carefully chosen for being
specialists at what they do and we insist
on working directly with them, not through
agents. We know the benefits of building
long term business relationships with our
suppliers and are proud to average over 20
years with our key partners.
For three generations, we’ve been
committed to the highest quality of care
for not only our products, but also our
people and the environment they work
in. Our suppliers are all united by a clear
and shared commitment to high ethical
standards and principles.
It’s important to us and, today, more and
more of our hotel and leisure customers
are asking us about our approach to
responsible business because it’s something
their guests are increasingly interested in.
Tonrose is therefore leading the UK
linen trade effort to make cotton a
sustainable commodity by becoming
members of the Better Cotton Initiative
(BCI). It’s the first time a UK trade linen
business has become a member of
the global scheme and it means we’re
committed to ensuring that 10% of our
cotton procurement becomes Better Cotton
by the end of 2017. We are then increasing
that commitment level year-on-year.
