ECJ EUROPEAN Cleaning Journal

This will be final ISSA/INTERCLEAN show for Mark Armitage, director of exhibition services (Europe) for cleaning industry association ISSA. He is retiring on June 30.

Mark has been a popular figure around the exhibition and indeed throughout the industry since he joined ISSA in 1998 - he moved there from the US Department of Commerce based in the Netherlands where he helped American companies to become established in the European marketplace.

Having opened ISSA's first office in Europe Mark has helped to developed many alliances, as well as supporting US exhibitors at trade shows. Here in Amsterdam he will say farewell to his many colleagues and friends.

Everyone here at ECJ wishes him a healthy and happy retirement.
