In this issue of Industrial Solutions, we are pleased to feature QAR Supplies as our Cleaning Materials Company of Choice.
For almost 40 years, QAR Supplies has been helping the UK’s hospitality and catering industries source quality non-food products at competitive prices. Established in 1986, the company’s origins can be traced to a simple but effective idea. Its founder recognised the potential of importing high-quality all-purpose cloths and non-woven chef hats from a trusted manufacturer in Germany, introducing products that were not widely available in the UK market at the time. From those beginnings, the business has grown into a respected supplier serving the catering, cleaning and hospitality sectors nationwide.
Based in Lingfield, Surrey, QAR Supplies specialises in supplying a comprehensive range of non-food consumables to hotels, restaurants, catering businesses and cleaning contractors. Its customers include chefs, purchasing managers and facilities managers who rely on dependable products and consistent service to keep their operations running smoothly.
While the company supplies a broad range of everyday catering and cleaning essentials, it has also developed a reputation as a niche supplier to the fine dining sector, providing products that combine practicality with professional presentation. This specialist focus, together with carefully sourced quality products and highly competitive pricing, has enabled QAR Supplies to build long-standing relationships with customers across the industry.
What’s more, customer service remains at the heart of the business, with the team committed to providing reliable support alongside a carefully selected product range that meets the evolving needs of the hospitality sector. Guided by its longstanding philosophy of ‘Quality Products & Competitive Prices,’ QAR Supplies continues to demonstrate that experience, product knowledge and personal service remain just as important today as they were when the company first opened its doors in 1986.
One of QAR Supplies’ longest-standing and best-selling products is its All-Purpose Black Cloth, a simple yet highly effective item that has become a staple in many of the UK’s leading hotels and restaurants. Manufactured from a strong, non-woven material, the cloth is durable, highly absorbent and suitable for a wide variety of cleaning and service tasks, making it an essential product for busy hospitality environments.
Its popularity, however, extends beyond everyday cleaning. In fine dining establishments, the distinctive black cloth has become the preferred choice for waiting staff when discreetly ‘crumbing’ tables between courses. The elegant black finish blends seamlessly into formal table service, allowing staff to maintain impeccable presentation without drawing attention, unlike traditional lighter-coloured cloths.
Favoured by chefs, restaurant managers and front-of-house teams alike, the All-Purpose Black Cloth combines practicality with style, delivering reliable performance while enhancing the overall dining experience. Its versatility, quality and professional appearance have helped make it one of QAR Supplies’ signature products and a trusted choice for hospitality professionals seeking products that meet the highest standards of service. It perfectly reflects the company’s commitment to supplying quality products at competitive prices while supporting excellence throughout the hospitality industry.
Looking ahead, QAR Supplies remains committed to supporting its loyal customer base for as long as the industry needs its expertise and service. While plans for semi-retirement are on the horizon over the coming years for Fionna Bowie-Macdonald, Sales & Marketing Manager, the company’s dedication remains unchanged: to provide quality products, competitive prices and a helpful, personal service whenever customers need it.
