The Kimberly-Clark Professional Golden Service Awards has launched its entry process for the 2018 awards.
Kimberly-Clark Professional is launching a new-look Golden Service Awards for 2018, evolving to further drive innovation and the continuous improvement of standards in the cleaning industry to deliver optimal results.
Founded in 1991, the biennial awards provide the opportunity for contract cleaners and in-house cleaning teams to showcase excellence and set new benchmarking standards in the cleaning industry.
Peter Oliver, General Manager UK, Ireland and France at KCP, said: “After 25 years hosting the Golden Service Awards, the event has evolved to play a pivotal role in the industry. To ensure that the Awards continue to meet the customer and business needs of tomorrow and drive innovation, we have re-focused the event on core industry areas.”
The event will take place on 8th March 2018 at The London Hilton Park Lane, and will feature awards in 14 categories, including recognising excellence across healthcare, office, education, retail, manufacturing, hospitality, environmental and training sectors, with Cleaning Operative and Supervisor of the Year awards concluding proceedings.
The British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) will independently oversee the judging process which will begin in September with the paper judging stage. Site visits will take place in October and November, again managed by BICSc to ensure uniformity and fairness.
