Kelsey Hargreaves, British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) Youth Ambassador


10 | TOMORROW'S CLEANING twitter.com/TomoCleaning


The cleaning industry is experiencing difficulties in the recruitment and retention of staff. A job physically strenuous, skilful and viewed as unattractive isn't attracting a new generation of cleaning professionals. BICSc recognises the problem that the sector's, but the cleaning industry as a whole needs a far deeper understanding of the issues in order to attract this new generation.


In this presentation, Kelsey will discuss the problems facing young people looking for employment, problems that she has experienced first-hand as a young person in the cleaning industry, and the ways in which she thinks we can combat issues with youth employment across the sector.


14:30 Buyer beware: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is


Lorcan Mekitarian, Chairman of the Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers Association (CHSA)


Demand for cleaning and hygiene


products has soared since the coronavirus pandemic but against the backdrop of soaring price inflation and the rising cost of production, the unscrupulous are making the most of the opportunity. They create businesses overnight, claiming expertise, knowledge and product excellence. The challenge for buyers is to differentiate between the unscrupulous but apparently credible companies, and those trading ethically.


Lorcan will use examples of unscrupulous behaviour to help buyers understand the challenges and learn the questions they need to ask to make sure they get products that are fit for purpose.


15:00 CSSA Innovation Showcase presentations – The future of cleaning
