Forbes Professional at the Independent Hotel Show 2025

Supporting Independent Hoteliers to Take Back Control

We’re thrilled to be back at the Independent Hotel Show 2025, taking place today and tomorrow at Olympia London. It’s always a highlight in the hospitality calendar — and we’re looking forward to catching up with familiar faces and meeting new ones.

If you're attending, do come and visit us at Stand 1122. Whether you’re in the early stages of planning an OPL setup, navigating compliance challenges, or simply exploring smarter operational solutions, we’d love to chat.

Proud Partners to Independent Hotels Across the UK

At Forbes Professional, we work hand-in-hand with independent hotels to deliver solutions that genuinely make a difference. Our clients come to us for our expertise -  and stay with us because we understand the realities of running a hotel in today’s climate.

Whether it’s helping to streamline operations, navigate compliance regulations, or optimise space and budgets, we take a consultative approach -  ensuring every recommendation fits your individual needs, not a one-size-fits-all model.

That’s something our clients value deeply:

"Having changed from another large provider some 18 months ago, we cannot express how delighted we are with every aspect of our involvement with Forbes.
From the planning of our laundry layout, to the quality and efficiency of the equipment, and the follow-up customer service — everything has been first class.
The added bonus is that the equipment is less expensive to run in both water and electricity. We should have changed years ago!"

Why More Hoteliers Are Bringing Laundry In-House

Laundry might not be the first thing guests think about, but for hoteliers, it’s a daily pressure point. Turnaround times, quality control, hygiene standards; they all feed directly into the guest experience.

It’s no surprise that:

• 85% of hoteliers agree that bringing laundry in-house helps maintain consistent standards
• 45% say they’ve experienced issues with outsourced laundry not returning in time for check-in

An On-Premise Laundry setup puts you back in control - over both logistics and finances. It removes the uncertainty of third-party delays and gives you the flexibility to adapt to fluctuating occupancy levels.
