MANCHESTER CLEANING SHOW 2024
Industry showcase set to sparkle in Manchester
British Cleaning Council (BCC) Chair, Delia Cannings, lets us know what’s in store for visitors to the 2024 Manchester Cleaning Show.
I’m thrilled to say that this year’s edition of the Cleaning Show is set to be the biggest in Manchester to date. Exhibition space for this year’s event, taking place at Manchester Central on 13-14 March, sold out weeks ago, so there will be even more than normal for attendees to see.
The Cleaning Show is one of the highlights of our industry’s calendar, bringing together thousands of cleaning and hygiene professionals to celebrate the
importance, excellence and achievements of the sector, businesses and staff.
The BCC is proud to be a co-producer of the Cleaning Show, and it’s fantastic that our sector can boast such a prestigious, successful and exciting annual industry showcase. All this, and the event is free to attend (after registering in advance).
I always enjoy catching up with familiar faces at the show, finding out about the latest products and innovations and gaining insight on industry issues from the sector’s leading figures during the conference programme. This year, the programme features over 20 expert speakers.
I’m delighted to be a key speaker at the show and look forward to welcoming attendees with the opening keynote. That will be followed by the launch of the eagerly anticipated 2024 BCC research report and an update on other key issues.
The report is essential reading for those in our sector. It will give the most up-to-date and detailed overview of the current condition of the cleaning, hygiene and waste industry, and go into detail about different subsectors, trends and issues. Last year, it reported that the entire industry was worth £59bn, cementing its place as one of the 10 biggest sectors in the UK. Read on to find out how to order a free copy.
On both days, I will also give a detailed briefing on the benefits for employers of the Level 2 Cleaning Hygiene Operative Apprenticeship and how to introduce it into the workplace. I have been closely involved in the development of the apprenticeship throughout. If you represent a sector firm which would like to invest in your staff and provide them with the opportunity to gain a valuable qualification, this session should be unmissable.
I will also be involved in a talk on NHS cleaning standards during the show, drawing on my long-term involvement in the healthcare sector.
54 | TOMORROW'S CLEANING
Other BCC members taking part in the conference include Lorcan Mekitarian, of the Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers Association (CHSA), with valuable advice on avoiding exaggerated or false marketing and product claims, and our British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) colleagues, who are the authority on training issues.
Raymond Martin, of the British Toilet Association (BTA), will look at the role of the washroom in health and wellbeing, while BICSc’s Kelsey Hargreaves will tackle recruitment and succession planning and will also join Paul Ashton, of the Cleaning & Support Services Association (CSSA), to address challenges, opportunities and next steps in the sector.
Other panels and talks cover important topics including supervisors and cleaning operatives discussing the view from the frontline, environmental and social governance (ESG), sustainability, technology and modern slavery.
I hope you will visit our stand at the show, claim a free We Clean, We Care badge to wear with pride, and sign up for your free, digital edition of the 2024 research report. Other BCC members with show stands include the CSSA, BICSc and the Federation of Window Cleaners (FWC).
