About Mitre Linen
Mitre Linen has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Nisbets Ltd since 2016, and is known as one of the premier suppliers of bedding, towels and soft furnishings to the hospitality industry - serving hotels, leisure resorts, care homes, laundries and other service-oriented sectors across the UK.
Founded in London in 1946, Mitre started as a supplier of bed linens and towels to hotels, with a focus on quality, durability, and practicality. This focus on the needs of the hospitality industry set it apart early on, as there was little available in the market that was designed specifically for the wear and tear experienced in hotel environments.
Over the decades, Mitre expanded its product offerings, gradually including a wider range of textiles such as table linens, bathrobes, and readymade and bespoke soft furnishings (curtains, cushions and bed throws ) tailored to the needs of individual clients. Its reputation for quality craftsmanship and customer service helped to foster long-term relationships with a variety of independent and national hospitality businesses. In 1955 Mitre was honoured to be awarded HM Queen Elizabeth II Royal warrant, for their work providing the Royal Household with bedding and towels.
As the textile industry and hospitality needs evolved, Mitre embraced innovation by incorporating sustainable practices and eco-friendly materials into its production process, emphasizing environmentally responsible manufacturing, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable products in the global market.
Today Mitre employs over 60 people, with a single site 60,000 sq. ft warehouse and call centre facility in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales. For over 75 years the company has remained committed to the highest standards of quality, sustainability, and customer service, and it continues to play a key role in shaping textile solutions for the hospitality industry.
In 2025 Mitre is very proud to announce we have been granted HM King Charles III Royal Warrant, which endorses our mission to deliver exceptional textile products that enhance the comfort and aesthetic appeal of hospitality businesses while maintaining a strong commitment to sustainability.
