Our story.
At The Reids Club, every garment we care for is touched by a legacy of dedication, craftsmanship, and excellence that spans three generations. Here, you’ll discover more about our rich history and the family values that continue to drive our commitment to the highest standard of garment care.
The beginning
Our story begins.
The Reids Club was founded in 2020 by Ian Reid and his wife Jenni as an exclusive, luxury garment care service. Born from the trusted heritage of Reids of Henley, The Reids Club quickly became a sister business, continuing the family tradition of providing the highest level of garment care with the added benefit of a premium collection and delivery service. Combining over 70 years of family expertise with a modern twist, The Reids Club is committed to offering clients a level of care that goes beyond expectations.
the tradition
A family tradition.
The Reid family's history in garment care dates back to 1945, when Ian’s grandparents, Violet and her husband, entered the dry cleaning industry. Violet worked as a garment finisher in a military uniform factory, and the couple later ran dry cleaning shops in outer London before moving to Henley-on-Thames in the 60s, where they opened Warwick Dry Cleaners. This was the beginning of a long-standing commitment to precision and quality service that continues to define the Reid name today.
The legacyOur legacy.
The legacy continued with Ian’s father, Joe, who managed dry cleaning businesses in Ruislip and Harrow before opening Quality Cleaners with his wife, Kay, in 1981. Ian grew up surrounded by the business, often working as a Saturday boy and during school holidays. His passion for garment care became clear early on, and he eventually made the life-changing decision to leave behind his accountancy ambitions to join the family business.
The vision
The vision.
In 2020, Ian and Jenni created The Reids Club as a specialised service designed to meet the needs of clients who sought a more luxurious garment care experience. While Reids of Henley remained a staple in the community, The Reids Club elevated the family’s tradition of excellence by offering a unique collection and delivery service tailored to the discerning customer. Now, as its own sister business, The Reids Club brings the same unmatched expertise and dedication to clients who demand nothing but the best.
