ECJ EUROPEAN Cleaning Journal

There is still time to enter this year’s European Cleaning & Hygiene Awards, as the organisers have extended the deadline to November 22. Entries are invited from service providers, manufacturers and distributors across Europe.

The awards are a celebration of excellence in the professional cleaning industry. As the only pan-European awards for the sector, they provide the opportunity for businesses and individuals from across the continent to share their stories of success.

Michelle Marshall, editor of ECJ and founder of the awards, said: “During the pandemic, the cleaning and hygiene sector really stepped into the spotlight and people from outside our industry are finally starting to recognise the vital role we play in society.

“The awards provide a fantastic opportunity to showcase your achievements and gain pan-European recognition from the most respected companies in the sector. As we look ahead to a more promising future, we cannot wait to hear your success stories and bring our industry together once again to celebrate in Brussels.”

There are 10 categories:
• Best use of smart solutions by service providers
• Investment in training
• Excellence in client/contractor partnerships
• Start-up business of the year
• Sustainability - best practice
• Commitment to diversity in the workforce
• Best initiative raising the profile of the cleaning sector
• Technological innovation of the year
