ICCA Industry Awards return in 2024


The Irish Contract Cleaning Association (ICCA) Industry Awards will return in 2024 on 11 October in the Round Room at the Mansion House, in the heart of Dublin.


Building on the success of the 2022 Industry Awards that saw almost 300 commercial contract cleaning personnel, service providers and guests attended the event, the 2024 Industry Awards will feature 18 categories and celebrate contract cleaning successes across Retail, Hospitality, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Education and Offices.


The 2024 ICCA Industry Awards will also feature new categories for Support Function, Cleaning Team of the Year, Rising Star Award, Environmental/Social/ Governance and Best Initiative by a Small Company with under 250 employees.


The independently judged Awards recognise service excellence in the industry and celebrate the work being carried out behind the scenes on sites by contract cleaning companies and in-house cleaning teams around the country.


The independently appointed judge, Lynn Webster, will return to judge the 2024 Industry Awards and will be joined by Lorraine Larman to identify the best in class across each of the categories. For the 2022 Industry Awards, Lynn Webster noted that the cleaning standard of sites was extremely high and made assessment challenging. She enjoyed a competitive process and delivered a strong message of professionalism in the industry.


The application process will launch in January 2024 for what is sure to be a hotly contested awards ceremony, and the Awards are open to all ICCA members. There will also be multiple sponsorship opportunities related to the ICCA Industry Awards 2024.


If you would like more information on the ICCA Industry Awards 2024, on becoming a member of the ICCA, or about the sponsorship opportunities at the October 2024 event, please reach out to Jillian Wilson at jwilson@ irishcontractcleaningassociation.ie.

Truvox launches VTVe Compact


tub vacuum Truvox International has introduced the new VTVe Compact tub vacuum, an entry-level vacuum cleaner that offers excellent performance and is ideal for daily vacuuming.


Following the success of the VTVe tub vacuum, Truvox has responded to customers’ requirements for an entry level vacuum. By using the same hose and bag connection, customers can use their existing VTVe accessories.


Truvox International’s UK National Sales Manager, Paul Robinson, said: “The new VTVe Compact is ideal for daily vacuuming in every environment. Weighing only 5.4kg, the VTVe Compact is light and manoeuvrable and easy to move between cleaning jobs. It has a 10L capacity for high productivity and delivers exceptional performance. The VTVe Compact features 2-stage filtration, including HEPA 13 media bag.


“Like all our machines, the VTVe Compact is designed to be simple to use and easy to maintain, from the on/off button to the easily accessible on-board cleaning tools. A crevice and brush tool for detailed cleaning and hard to reach areas are included, and the power cord can be stored securely on the holder for transportation and storage.”


The VTVe Compact joins Truvox’s popular established Valet range of commercial vacuum cleaners, including the VTVe, the VBPIIe commercial backpack vacuum cleaner, and the recently launched Valet Dual Motor Upright.

Paul concluded: “Proper floorcare in every environment is essential as it makes a major contribution to health, safety and hygiene. Throughout and since the pandemic, cleaning routines have become more of a front of house activity, so we are proud the new VTVe Compact looks so professional, as we know that visible cleaning reassures consumers. Like all Truvox International machines, the design of the VTVe Compact has focused on ease-of-use and manoeuvrability, coupled with maximum reliability and performance.”
