HOTELS & HOSPITALITY DOING THE BUSINESS With the hotel sector facing a degree of uncertainty over the consequences of


Brexit, Northwood have made great strides in trying to make life a little bit easier for facility teams in the sector, says Marketing Manager, Paul Mulready.


A classic Key Performance Indicator, revenue per available room (RevPAR) provides a convenient snapshot as to how well a hotel business is doing. In London it is forecast that 2017 will show a RevPar of 80%, and 70% in other regions.


However, Brexit does have the potential to cause at least some short term problems to the sector. So whilst the comparative weakness of the pound is encouraging foreign visitors to the UK, there are signs that business travelling is slowing, especially in London. This will only accelerate the departure of offices such as the European Medical Agency to elsewhere in Europe, which has attracted many to meetings and briefings.


Cleanliness is a key requirement in any hotel, be it two star or five.


Add to that the reduction in the numbers of European workers who have provided the backbone of cleaning and maintenance teams over recent years and it looks as though the pressure to cut costs and become ever more efficient will be even more intense.


Cleanliness is a key requirement in any hotel, be it two star or five. If there is a physical limit to the time it takes one person to clean a room, then it is at these margins that efficiency gains are to be made. That’s where Northwood’s Whisper range can make a difference, delivering all your tissue requirements from a single source.

Whisper Gold is a 3ply toilet tissue of exceptional softness, which is due to a combination of a high-quality, pure-pulp base sheet, which features a contemporary micro-embossed pattern with added lamination. The range has a slightly smaller-sized, competitively- priced but similarly- specified cousin, Whisper Ultra and 2ply variants such as Whisper Silver and Whisper Soft.


Whisper Soft is


a longer roll that helps reduce the number of required maintenance replenishment visits, whilst Whisper Silver seeks to deliver an everyday luxury feel at an economic price point. If preferred, there is a self-presenting contemporary styled box of tissues that perfectly complements the rest of the Whisper range.


There is also a Pillar Wrap version should that be more suited to the need. Featuring a full 320 sheets it means that there is a reduced maintenance supervision requirement.


Whisper Facial Tissues with their superior soft feel are 2ply pure pulp tissue. The range, boxed in modern and attractive packaging, includes standard size boxes, cubed and larger sheets. Then to complete the offer of single sourcing all of a customer’s AfH tissue requirements, there is the absorbent and strong Whisper Kitchen Towel.


The range can be found in such hotels as the historic Eagle House Hotel in Cornwall and the world famous Ritz Hotel in London. Quality tissue products with excellent cost in use benefits from a single manufacturer.
