Jeff Bell steps down from CHSA Council
Former Chairman of the Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers Association (CHSA) and recently retired Managing Director of Deb Limited, Jeff Bell, is stepping down from the CHSA’s governing Council after many years of service.
CHSA Chairman Stephen Harrison said: “Jeff has made an enormous contribution to the CHSA. It was his
commitment to and active engagement in the industry that led to his election, first onto the Council and then to the position of Chairman, after which he continued to serve as a Council member. He served with distinction, providing clear strategic direction.
Cromwell celebrates a reduction in littering
Cromwell Polythene has released results from a comparison beach cleaning and litter surveying programme to mark Recycle Week 2018, indicating that levels of seaside rubbish have decreased.
The research is part of the company’s 35th anniversary activity, and follows on from similar research conducted during last year’s recycle week. The only increases compared to last year’s results were for paper/cardboard and metal, which both multiplied significantly, and medical waste.
23 of Cromwell’s staff joined Great British Beach Clean organisers, the Marine Conservation Society and volunteers from the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust’s Living Seas Centre, to collect and record litter found on their local Filey beach on the North Yorkshire coast, and raise awareness of sustainability.
Cromwell’s MD, James Lee, said: “It’s very encouraging that levels of waste materials have decreased across the same stretch of beach compared to results from our previous year’s analysis. What is also clear is that it’s not just plastic packaging washing up on the beaches and I’m pleased to see a decrease in plastic waste.
“Brought into public focus through Blue Planet II, people are becoming more aware of the impact of rubbish in our oceans. The reduction in littering may be down to more people taking part in organised litter picks due to increased awareness of marine pollution. Measures like the expansion of recycling initiatives in public spaces can also help

“On behalf of all his CHSA colleagues, I offer our heartfelt thanks for his many years of valuable and effective service. We will miss his wisdom and enthusiasm on the Council but wish him the very best in the future. I hope our paths will continue to cross.”
Commenting on his decision, Jeff said: “It has been a privilege to sit on the CHSA Council, alongside talented colleagues. Over the years we have worked together to evolve and develop the CHSA into the effective and well- respected association it is today. I wish the CHSA every success in the future and would like to say thank you for the friendship I have received from other Council members.”
Jeff will be replaced on the CHSA Council by Tracey Black, National Account Director for SC Johnson Professional (formerly Deb Limited). Tracey explained: “I am delighted to be joining the CHSA Council and am looking forward to working with highly respected experts in their field. It’s a great opportunity to both learn from their experience and knowledge and give something back to an industry I love.”

Highlights from this year’s collection over 2017’s results include a 6% decrease in plastic/polythene, an 84% drop in rubber items, 370% increase in paper/cardboard materials, and a 58% decrease in wood materials. Incidents of bagged dog faeces being found were identical to the 2017 research.
