Dr Ken Barnes, Premiere Group Managing Director, was similarly excited by the new partnership, as this will not only benefit Premiere Products, but also TecServ, another group company.
Premiere Products have announced an exciting new partnership agreement with Swiss machine manufacturer, Wetrok. This partnership agreement sees Premiere taking on the role of master distributor to the UK for the supply of Wetrok machines.
The Tomorrow’s Cleaning team were lucky enough to be invited to the press day signalling the partnership and speak to some of the team.
Nick Townsend, Wetrok UK Country Manager, who now has a base at Premiere Products’ Head Office in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire,
said: “I am looking forward to seeing this new partnership grow, Premiere and Wetrok work by a similar set of values and our new product road map means we have so many exciting new products to talk about in 2012.
“Wetrok is again able to supply and service the entire UK. Premiere Products lead the charge with the Wetrok machine sales and Tecserv will provide national service cover, as well as an army of dedicated regional distributors. We are delighted with the new set-up and we look forward to innovating the cleaning market in the UK once more.”
TecServ UK is the largest independent company to offer servicing and repairs to all makes and models of floor cleaning machines in the UK. Managing Director, Graham Stevens, is happy to become the sole service provider to Wetrok machines in the UK. You can also find out more about what TecServ do on page 82.
The event concluded with some demonstrations of the latest Wetrok machines (watch the video to see our Director, Gavin Nicholls in action!) and a lovely afternoon tea, topped off with a Toblerone to take home – combining British and Swiss culture together, just like this partnership!
In the meantime, keep your eye out for some more exciting Wetrok product introductions to the UK!

Leafield Environmental is launching its Meridian Envirobin, a new recycling bin, developed in association with the University of Greenwich, which it claims has been designed specifically to encourage more recycling.
The whole concept, according to John Bailey, Sustainability Projects Officer at Greenwich, is to make recycling easier, by separating mixed recyclables and non-recyclable waste at source and using the design of the bin to achieve this. To this end, a single bin is split into two individual streams, the larger and more open one in this instance being mixed recyclables to reflect the makeup of the waste and encourage the user of the bin to place their waste this side.
Intended for internal use, the stylish Meridian
Envirobin has a small slim footprint in order not to take up too much real estate, yet has a sizeable 110 litre capacity. Having a flat back it can be located flush against a wall and two bins can be clipped together back to back or side by side if required.
Unique to this design are the interchangeable lids, available as a complete lid, a 50/50 split or a 70/30 split, moulded in WRAP (Waste Resource Action Programme) compliant colours and designed to lock together to enable easy removal in one piece. Integrated WRAP signage will also assist the user in selecting the appropriate waste stream and thereby reduce cross contamination.
In the case of the University of Greenwich,

a 70/30 mixed recyclables/general waste lid spit is being used initially with the objective of moving to 70/30 mixed recyclables/food waste in the future by simply changing one side of the lid and the associated signage.
