Month: February 2026

Each participating laundry site is shown on the interactive map below, together with the date and time of their open day and details on how to book. The sites are listed in order of location from north to south across the UK for ease of reference. If you would like any further information about a specific opening, please contact the laundry directly using the details provided.

The day culminates with a special session called ‘start tomorrow’, a series of intensive ten-minute segments, each focusing on practical actions laundries can implement immediately across various parts of the business, from logistics to machinery.

During the Summit there will be various networking opportunities, including coffee breaks and a buffet lunch. In addition, on 21 April, the evening before the Summit, TSA has organised an informal buffet dinner for those staying at the hotel. (During the day on 21 April the TSA will have hosted a Safety Summit at the same venue).

Tickets for the Sustainability Summit cost £120 +VAT per person for TSA members and £240 +VAT for non-members. For more information and to book a place click here.

As usual the TSA will be holding its popular annual meetings and networking events, which are opportunities for stakeholders in the industry to get together, discuss the big issues and catch up with colleagues. These events kick off with the National Congress, which takes place in Edinburgh on March 17^th. This is a strategic event for senior management and business owners and features a range of expert speakers and presentations.

The TSA’s Autumn Conference returns on 13^th-14^th October.  This is the industry’s main event for managers of all levels. Feedback from attendees to last year’s conference was overwhelmingly positive, and it is a great way to build and strengthen inter-industry relationships. Eduarda Savazoni, Operations Director at phs Besafe, described the benefits of the Conference meetings like this. “It’s the kind of industry where companies and competitors, can all come together and it’s rather amazing,” she said. “It gives us the chance to take a benchmark of where we all are, and you know that you’re not alone.”

Other events for the calendar include a Safety Summit on April 21^st and the Sustainability Summit Day on April 22^nd, which both take place in Wokingham.  There will also be a programme of regular online membership webinars throughout the year, with the first session focusing on AI.

Beyond events and training the TSA will continue to develop its member support services. These include the Infinite Textiles certification scheme, which provides businesses with the framework to ensure they are responsibly and sustainably handling textiles throughout their life cycle. The association is also enhancing its carbon calculator, the Global Laundry and Rental Emissions (GLARE) platform, which is a free membership tool that allows members to record and quantify their carbon emissions.

The TSA offers other important resources to its members such as:

• The Wellbeing Hub, which offers free mental health support to laundry employees provided by Via Vita Health,
• Free employment law, HR and H&S expertise from Worknest,
• A free credit checking service from First Report,
• Access to relevant British and international standards through BSI Online.

Alongside this, the TSA helps to build members’ profiles through services such as the Members Directory. Management guidance and advice is available through access to resources such as the Laundry Cost Index and a vast range of technical and consultancy documents on the TSA website and members’ portal.

“We’re committed to expanding the help and support we provide, while working to ensure the voice of the industry is heard by the government and other stakeholders.” Says Emma.
