Inaugural Awards To Celebrate Industry Excellence In Professional Cleaning Across Europe

This week sees the launch of the European Cleaning & Hygiene Awards 2016. These new awards will aim to celebrate excellence in the professional cleaning and hygiene markets across Europe, with the inaugural ceremony taking place in Barcelona on the 29th September 2016.

The professional cleaning sector employs millions of people across Europe and plays a vital role in health, wellbeing, image and perception. However, until now there has not been a pan-European awards programme to recognise and reward standards of excellence in all of its areas and at all levels.

The high profile awards will take place at the five-star Majestic Hotel in Barcelona and offers fantastic business networking opportunities with key influencers, business owners and industry leaders. The awards will also provide educational prospects with roundtable discussions and a conference.

Submissions are welcomed from building service contractors, distributors, facilities managers, manufacturers and individuals, and provides organisations with an excellent opportunity to thank contractors, by nominating them for an award.

Speaking about the launch of the awards, Dianna Steinbach, Director of EMEA Services at ISSA said: “The European Cleaning & Hygiene Awards event will be a prominent occasion in the professional cleaning sector calendar, recognising industry innovation and success. The recognition that comes with an award win of this calibre is immeasurable.”

The event’s industry-leading sponsors include Diversey Care, Truvox International and Ceris Burns International, and educational partner for the conference and awards is ISSA.
