Ultimate experience for the team at SYR


Scot Young Research held a special hands-on day for its head office staff to focus on the new Ultimate product range. Operations director Tony Jones and consultant Sam McCrone went through each of the products in detail, explaining their features and benefits and how they worked together as part of a system designed to give more efficient, cost effective and safer cleaning. Among the items covered were the Ultimate Combines which


give flat and wet mopping in the same combo, Scrubmaster with its integrated mophead laundering system, the Ultimate Washing Machine and the Spraygee window and flat surface cleaner. Techniques were also explained and there was plenty of


opportunity to try out the equipment. After lunch a question and answer session was held. Those

Letter from China


Hello everyone from a now warm Ningbo. Recently I travelled to Thailand to meet with friends from all over the world, most of whom are in our industry.


I was happy to see Paul Ramsey and rank McElroy of McDonalds UK coming down to relax and play a few rounds of golf.


Paul and rank are not just old cus- tomers of mine but are very good friends and have supported SYR for 20 years. It was good to meet up with them and


Im sure Ill be seeing more of them both. So on to McDonalds China where tests have been taking place in a store in a city called Changhou. Changhou is 4-5 hours away by train or bus and has no aiport, so monitoring the test has not been an easy task.


Im happy to say that the tests are going very well and were hoping for good news to follow in the next few months. As many of you know I’ve been in


China three years this year and for the first time SYR China will have its own dedicated brochure to cover the APAMEA region.


The brochure will start to be issued at the ChinaClean exhibition on 8-12th April. This will be our second time doing this show and we expect even greater results with the new products being our main focus.

attending were asked to provide comments and continuing feed- back is sought. Tony Jones stressed that it was important the whole team was now involved as the Ultimate range moves to market.

Tough trading leads to exhibition date change


The CarpexWindex 2012 exhibition, which had been due to take place in March, has been postponed until October. The event, organised by uart Business Media, will now take


place on October 3 and 4, at its planned venue, The Ricoh Arena in Coventry. Martin Scott, exhibition sales director, said: “CarpexWindex is


staged specifically to support the needs of the carpet and upholstery and window cleaning industries, and we work closely with senior representatives from both sectors when shaping the event. “Both sectors are finding trading tough at the present time, reporting that business activity is not set to rise until 3 of this year. After positive discussions with major companies and asso- ciations from both industries we have therefore decided to post- pone the event until October, when buying activity is expected to be far stronger.” He added that it would feature everything planned for March – and more.


Dirty mops are blamed for nursing home fires


Mops used to clean up a vegetable oil spill were the cause of a fire at a nursing home in the United States. Staff at the Johnson County Care Center in Warrensburg,


Missouri, had tried to wash and dry the mops. However they failed to remove the oil and the mops were hot when placed on storage shelves in the basement, fire investigators say. They caught fire due to spontaneous combustion, and were close to cleaning products and other combustible materials. The fires in the laundry and storage room were soon put out


but about 0 residents and staff of the county-owned nursing home had to be evacuated. Some had to be taken as far away as Kansas City, some 64 miles or 103km. No-one was injured in the incident.
