REGULAR
LOOKING AHEAD TO LONDON
It doesn’t seem that long since the last Cleaning Show back in 2015, but preparations are already well underway for next year’s event, as Lee Baker,
PR & Media Manager for the British Cleaning Council, explains in this month’s ‘View from the BCC.’
The countdown to next year’s London Cleaning Show is now well and truly underway, and everyone at the BCC is very excited to be back at the Excel for the second time.
The recent BCC meeting, at the Health and Safety lab in Buxton, heard that planning for the show is in the advanced stages and that floor space is filling up fast.
Organisers are now confident that this show will be even bigger that the one two years ago, with more exhibitors and more visitors, and that can only benefit the cleaning industry as a whole.
It’s the third major cleaning trade show in the UK in as many years, and illustrates the buoyancy of the UK cleaning industry at the moment.
The biannual show, owned and organised by the BCC in conjunction with Quartz, has become an essential event for anyone responsible for cleaning, maintenance and hygiene, not just in the UK, but increasingly in Europe too.
It’s not difficult to understand why the show is now becoming an international ‘must-attend’ event. There are unrivalled opportunities to network and do business, and being in London means it’s just a short trip for European visitors.
28 | Tomorrow’s Cleaning
The Cleaning Show funds the BCC, and a successful show means the Council can help to fund worthwhile projects that members are involved in.
“The London Cleaning Show is very much
the ‘Jewel in the Crown’ [for the BCC]
and there’s already a lot to look forward to.”
This year the Council has funded a special conference on the new REACH regulations, and at last month’s meeting voted unanimously to sponsor the new CSSA Awards.
A big part of the BCC’s remit is to publicise the UK cleaning industry and encourage grassroots enterprises, and the CSSA’s new awards fit the bill on both accounts.
The 2015 Cleaning Show was the first in London, after its relocation from Birmingham’s NEC. Delegates were polled after the show in 2013, with many saying relocation might be a shot in the arm the exhibition needs. Not everybody agreed, with some in the regions voicing concern about the time and cost of travelling to London.
The BCC was very sensitive to this and so developed the Manchester Cleaning Show. And after a fantastic event earlier this year in Manchester, the Council was pleased to announce that the regional cleaning show would now become a permanent event.
But the London Cleaning Show is very much the ‘jewel in the crown’ and there’s already a lot to look forward to. The Council has invited a range of special guests to deliver keynote presentations. Jim Fitzpatrick MP, gets things underway on the first morning and is followed by Alison Ogden-Newton, CEO of Keep Britain Tidy. Other seminar topics include the future of facility management, health and safety, social media marketing, and more.
Everybody who attended two years ago will remember the great ‘buzz’ in the huge exhibition hall, which lasted throughout the three days. The exhibitor stands, product displays and presentations from the conference centre made it a very special event to attend, and there’s every reason to anticipate that London 2017 will be even better!
