Founded by the European Cleaning Journal, the high-profile awards will take place at the luxury, five- star Majestic Hotel in Barcelona, on Thursday 29th September, 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.
