News Sponsored by COBA strikes a chord
COBA Flooring’s Plan.a aluminium matting has been installed in three entrance areas within Manchester’s internationally acclaimed concert venue, The Bridgewater Hall.
Plan.a is custom-manufactured to order by COBA Flooring in the UK. It was supplied by Cutler Cleaning Supplies based in Cheshire, a member of the Jangro network of independent janitorial distributors based in the UK and Ireland. The installation was carried out by COBA Flooring’s own team of matting experts.
Designed for heavy-duty pedestrian footfall areas, the robust yet smart aluminium system has been installed in the main entrance to The Bridgewater Hall, as well as the Box Office and Artists’ entrances.
The durability of the entrance matting system was a key part of the specification because the concert venue hosts over 250 performances per year, and can seat some 2400 people in its impressive auditorium. Visually, the matting also needed to complement the high interior standards and aesthetic design of the venue.
The Bridgewater Hall’s House Manager, Armelle Rainjonneau, said: “COBA only had a restricted time to fit the entrance matting but still their team managed to deliver on time and with great precision. They were very professional and we experienced good all-round service. We are very pleased with the finished result.”
Plan.a is available in either an open or closed surface construction, in either standard or low-profile height. There is a choice of material insert options including Alba (nylon), Needlepunch and PVC. Plan.a can also be specified in vibrant colours using Precision carpet inserts or feature bespoke logos.
HQ relocation for BICSc
The British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) has finalised their move to a larger premises at number 4 Premier Court, across from their current location in Moulton Park, Northampton.
The move will take place in early 2019 and will result in minimal disruption for their team, members and clients. The current BICSc HQ will be re-developed into an enhanced training suite, dedicated to delivering BICSc-accredited training in a central UK location.
The move comes as a result of a highly successful year for BICSc which saw a strong technical team put in place, enabling the organisation to deliver the majority of their training in-house, Cleanlogic taking off and membership numbers increase dramatically. The Institute is now planning on investing further in the training they provide with the launch of additional Cleanlogic Workshops and Courses, as well as other initiatives to enhance customer service.
These initiatives will be driven forward with the development 14 | WHAT’S NEW?

of a brand-new BBS Training Suite, allowing the organisation to focus on establishing BICS Business Services as ‘the only place to start your journey with BICSc accredited training’.
Neil Spencer-Cook, Chief Operating Officer for BICSc and Board Member for BBS, said: “The redevelopment of our current headquarters into a dedicated BBS Training Suite will allow for a significant improvement in the facilities and learning experience we offer to candidates. Not only will we be able to offer a higher volume of training, ensuring the consistency of our brand but we will also have a greater ability to expand our capacity going forward.”
Denise Hanson, Head of Technical Services for BICSc commented: “We are looking forward to the coming year in our new home as well as continuing to do what we do best; ‘teaching you to clean’, whether it be our Licence to Practice, Skills and Assessor Training or our all new Cleanlogic Workshops and Courses. We are sure we will be welcoming many more individuals to our brand-new BBS Training Suite throughout 2019.”
