As toweling experts, BCSW provides toweling solutions for customers wishing to reduce their energy and be responsible for the environment substantially. With a wide range of towels in various weights and styles, the company provides a personalized service for businesses with the benefits of fast delivery, supported by the large warehouse in Berkshire. Additionally, BCSW can offer a bespoke finish to all towels, bathrobes, and footwear, using its high tech and in house embroidery services. The BCSW design team can work with a vast range of towels and bathrobes to give them a unique look, with customized sewn-in labels and hand-finished embroidered logos to enhance the hotel or spa’s brand, creating a memorable experience for all guests. Moreover, every line in the BCSW range is developed from customer demand. For example, BCSW has recently launched a new luxury range of toweling called Opulence, the superior quality of super thick 650gsm towels with no header bar. This collection is designed for its simplicity of look for luxury hospitality venues, perfect for bespoke embroidered logos to support other company’s brand. The Opulence towel range was launched to increase demand for an exceptional quality thick towel with no header bar. Additionally, this towel is of the same quality and thickness as the Sumptuous range. The simple binding edge and no header bar creates a blank canvas that many luxury- boutique hotels desire, as it gives broader scope for bespoke embroidered designs. BCSW is about creating a customized look and ensuring that its products have integrity and sustainability. Recently, BCSW has launched SmartSoft®, a collection specifically designed for spas and hotels that have an on-premises laundry (OPL) or are considering reducing their carbon footprint and minimizing costs. SmartSoft® includes an entire range of sustainable SmartKnit® toweling solutions for any spa business. The whole of the SmartSoft® collection is 100% guaranteed for sustainability and energy saving, verified by the Laundry and Technology Centre, designed to reduce costs and increase efficiency right across the business. For example, choosing SmartSoft® bathrobes and towels means that clients can save up to 70% energy and 30% in reducing drying times, especially if clients have an in-house laundry service. Additionally, with the introduction of SmartKnit, BCSW can now provide sustainable solutions for every area, from the hotel bedroom to the spa treatment couch. Choosing a brand with an environmental conscience also sends an important message of awareness of the value and reputation placed on sustainability to a company’s guests. The toweling factory in Turkey has also invested in a range of environmentally friendly technologies to help reduce its carbon footprint, saving 60% on water consumption by changing its drying and rinsing process and reducing the amount of natural gas consumed in its operations. In addition, being more conscious itself, BCSW owns a factory solar power plant that has saved over a million trees and has replanted trees in a 28 million sqm area – that is eight times larger than New York’s Central Park. The team at BCSW is entirely customer- focused, recognizing that every person in contact with its business, whether a group purchasing manager or an individual customer buying a single bathrobe as a gift, needs to be nurtured and made to feel special. This culture of customer first care has become ingrained in its daily business, which is why BCSW has developed such a large and loyal customer base.
