In Memoriam: Patrick Jongbloet
Members of the cleaning, hygiene and facilities management sectors have been paying tribute after a popular colleague passed away.
Patrick Jongbloet had a variety of roles connected to the FM and cleaning and hygiene sectors over a number of years, so was well-known in the industry. His first role in facilities was with Eurotunnel in the 1990s. Patrick’s other roles included being a senior consultant with the FM Guru consultancy and five years at Emprise Services.
Patrick joined the Secretariat at the British Cleaning Council (BCC) in December 2017 and worked there part-time
until February 2019. He continued to minute-take during meetings until a few months ago.
BCC Chairman Paul Thrupp said: “The news of Patrick’s passing is extremely sad. He had been bravely fighting health issues since 2016 but ultimately lost the battle.
“Patrick was a splendid chap. He was great fun to be around and great company. Hwell known in the industry and very well liked. He will be missed. Our thoughts go out to Patrick’s family.”
The BCC has made a donation in Patrick’s memory via the website below, which is fundraising for Cancer Research UK.

Slack also has rendered an invaluable impact on ISSA, serving on the association’s Exhibitor Committee from 2013 to 2017.
Rising Star Award winner Pickens started with Home Depot Pro four years ago as a field sales professional in northern New Jersey.
