ALL CHANGE FOR THE BCC AFTER AGM IN
BIRMINGHAM It was all change at the top when the BCC convened for its quarterly meeting and AGM, with Simon Hollingbery, taking over as Chairman from Doug Cooke, who stepped down after three years in the role.
As Doug handed the reins over to Simon, he was presented with a bottle of his favourite red wine by the Chairman elect.
After presenting the wine to Doug on behalf of the BCC Simon said: “I’d like to thank Doug for his work for the BCC over the last three years.
“I’m looking forward to carrying on the good work he’s done, and I will strive to make sure the Council continues to be important and relevant to the industry it serves.”
Following his resignation, Doug added: “I’ve had three very enjoyable years as Council Chairman, and it was a great privilege to be asked to help steer the Cleaning Show from its former home in Birmingham to London’s Excel, and witness such a fantastic show. It’s now time for me to step down as Chairman, and I’m delighted that someone from the public sector is becoming BCC Chairman, and I know Simon will do a terrific job.”
The vacant deputy chair position was then put to a vote of the membership, and was won by BICSc CEO, Stan Atkins, with a sizable majority.

is designed to support the needs of the Irish cleaning professionals. We work closely with senior representatives from all sectors of the market when shaping this event, and bearing in mind the current trading conditions in Ireland, although showing growth, it has been decided with the input of major exhibitors and industry associations to move the event to June 2016, when buying positions will be much stronger. We believe that this way, Opus Business Media can work to
meet the exhibitors’ and the visitors’ needs and create a better show.”

In a lively and well attended meeting, held in one of the conference suites at the NEC in Birmingham, members debated a range of issues that will shape the Council’s immediate future.
It was confirmed that there wouldn’t be a conference this year, but the Council has set up a working party to look into how it might participate in events, conferences and trade shows in the future.
It was reported that the recent Cleaning Show at the Excel Arena brought higher than expected profits for the BCC, and the board confirmed that funding was now being made available for new cleaning projects, of which it had already received a number of enquiries.
The board heard that the two most recent projects to have received BCC grant funding were now doing very
well. Raymond Martin, from the British Toilet Association, said the Toilet Map App had recently passed some stringent stress tests, and was almost ready to be rolled out nationally.
Paul Thrupp, from the Window Cleaners Federation, told the Council that its Safety Accredited Member scheme (SAM), which allows local authorities and other organisations to identify that you have acquired minimum standards to practice, is becoming increasingly important in the procurement process in their sector.
There were also presentations from Tracy Hamilton and Norma Naismith, from the Health and Safety Executive, and from Simon Forrester, of the British Pest Control Association, while former Minister and Labour MP for Poplar and Limehouse, Jim Fitzpatrick, agreed to be a supporter at Westminster.
