hygiene industry for use on their websites, in marketing materials, and social media.
BCC Chairman Jim Melvin said: “We want the sector to adopt the ‘We Care, We Clean’ slogan, for staff to wear their free badges with pride and for everyone to be consistently made aware. While recognition of the vital role the cleaning and hygiene sector and staff play is improving, there are still people outside the sector who have completely wrong misconceptions about what we do.
“We know that the role of cleaning and hygiene personnel is frontline and essential to keeping key workers and the public healthy, safe and well, and sector staff are skilled, professional, and trained to a high standard.
“The industry has been a key component and absolutely vital in the fight against the COVID pandemic, and will continue to be essential in returning to normality safely and hygienically, as well as being prepared for and helping to stop any future variant or pandemic.
“The ‘We Clean, We Care’ slogan is designed to show the pride staff have in this vital role and help in the process of educating clients, customers, government and colleagues about what we do. So please come to the BCC stand and pick up a ‘We Clean, We Care’ badge to wear as you go about your work. We also encourage sector organisations and companies to use the new logo.”
It is free to register for and attend the Manchester Cleaning Show, which the BCC co-produces.
