ECJ EUROPEAN Cleaning Journal

ECJ's European Cleaning & Hygiene Awards are back for 2024, with entries now open.

Now in their seventh year, the only pan-European awards for the professional cleaning sector give service providers, manufacturers and distributors the opportunity to share their success stories and celebrate the vital work of the industry.

There are 10 categories that encompass themes including sustainability, diversity, partnership, smart solutions and leadership. Here's the list:

• Start-up Business of the Year
• Best Use of Smart Solutions by a Service Provider
• Investment in Training
• Excellence in Client/Contractor Partnerships
• Sustainability - Best Practice
• Commitment to Diversity in the Workforce
• Best Initiative Raising the Profile of the Cleaning Sector
• Technological Innovation of the Year
• Leader of the Year
• Rising Star

You have until the end of April to submit your entry, with finalists being announced in July. And the ceremony moves to a different European city once again, with this year's winners to be announced during the awards ceremony and gala dinner in Lisbon, Portugal on October 3.

Michelle Marshall, editor of European Cleaning Journal and founder of the awards, launched this year's programme. "The European Cleaning & Hygiene Awards are gathering momentum every year. Last year was a record-breaker for entries and the awards dinner in Dublin was a tremendous success.

"So we are hoping for even more companies and individuals to get involved in 2024. It's always such a privilege to read such inspiring stories from around the countries of Europe."

Headline sponsor for this year is Lucart Professional.
