WHAT’S NEW? TIME FOR THE ’TOILET OSCARS’
The 2016 Tork Loo of the Year Awards grading has now been completed following inspection of ‘away from home’ toilets throughout the UK and the Republic of Ireland. High standards of cleaning and maintenance performed by in-house cleaners, cleaning contractors and FM companies were evidenced during their inspection visits.
Use of the latest products and processes and the improvements in design and the quality of fixtures and fittings are also recognised. User’s needs are the basis of the Loo of the Year Awards judging criteria requiring attractive as well as functional facilities to meet all of user’s personal requirements. Hygienic services that minimise the risk of infection transfer whilst also saving energy continue to become more prevalent.
There were high levels of entries across sixty categories with shopping centre entries continuing to increase each year. The corporate entrants recognise the value of gaining prestige and recognition of their brand, and importantly their employee’s efforts, as a result of achieving awards. Entrants also use the Awards grading to benchmark their toilet provision performance against competitors and can use the awards success as a real benefit when in negotiations with customers and prospects.
Every entry was inspected and graded by a team of trained and experienced inspectors against established criteria for each and every type of toilet.
The 2016 entrants are currently being advised of the prestigious Loo of the Year Award they achieved and National and UK/Republic of Ireland Awards will be presented at the excellent daytime Presentation Event on Friday 2nd December at the elegant four star St Johns Hotel in Solihull. In addition to presentation of the Awards there will be a sparkling wine reception, four course lunch with wine, supplier exhibition, entertainment by international comedians Peter Piper and unrivalled networking opportunities.

DEB PROMOTE HAND HYGIENE TO KEEP COLDS AWAY
Deb offers skin care solutions that have been designed to help employees integrate hand hygiene into their working day with as much ease as possible – from regular handwashing with soap, to the use of hand sanitisers where access to running water is inconvenient.
With winter around the corner, Deb have advised to take hand hygiene seriously, to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria.
Given that 80% of all infections are transmitted by hands, regular handwashing with soap is widely seen as one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria – and avoid infections. The practice could reduce the number of people catching colds by 45%, according to estimates.
“By implementing an effective hand hygiene programme, companies can go a long way towards avoiding the negative consequences of colds, such as decreased productivity and low staff morale, as well as the financial burden,” said Paul Jakeway, Deb’s Marketing Director.
Sick leave due to colds is currently estimated to cost UK businesses £1.3 billion each year.
Deb’s foam soap solutions require 36% less product for an effective hand wash compared with traditional liquid or lotion soaps. This makes them a cost-effective choice, especially in environments where handwashing needs to be frequent if infections are to be avoided.
The highly-effective formula of Deb InstantFOAM Complete hand sanitiser kills 99.999% of common germs. It has been specifically designed to provide a high level of hand hygiene even in the most sensitive environments.
BioCote silver ion technology has been incorporated into the full range of Deb’s built-to-last dispensers. This effectively reduces bacteria, mould and fungi on the surface. The equipment can be fully customised, allowing companies to feature their own branding on the equipment, if they wish to do so.
Deb also provides supporting materials to help companies educate and train employees about the importance of regular hand hygiene and what they can do to prevent colds this autumn.
