Don’t miss out
With submissions open until Friday 17 October 2025, all FM and contract cleaning companies across the UK and Ireland are invited to put forward their best people, teams and projects. This year, 18 categories will recognise outstanding achievements across sectors including healthcare, retail, manufacturing, hospitality, education, leisure and office environments. Finalists will be announced on Monday 8 December 2025.
Entries are invited from all types of companies. The Golden Service Awards are not just for the biggest names and brands in the industry, but are inclusive to all. As long as they demonstrate innovation, excellence and a commitment to raising standards, Kimberly-Clark Professional encourages all eligible teams and individuals to seize this opportunity. Whether you’re a large national FM provider or a small specialist contractor, the judges want to hear your story.
Why enter?
Winning a Golden Service Award is more than a line in a company profile – it’s a badge of honour, a powerful motivator for teams and a springboard for new business. At the Golden Service Awards 2024, Key Enviro Solutions won the Sustainability Leadership Award. Over a year on, and the award win is still having an impact.
Neil Fletcher, Business Development Executive at Key Enviro Solutions, explained: “The significance of being acknowledged as both finalists and winners plays a huge part in us retaining not only existing business, but it has increased our business growth by at least 20%. When we submit tender presentations to prospective new clients, we add a GSA brochure listing all of our achievements over the years. We can see the client sit up, take notice – at this point they can see we are serious in what we do, and that their building is in good hands.”
Also at the Golden Service Awards 2024, Aramark scooped the award for Office areas between 10,000 and 30,000 square meters. Colm McGrath, from Aramark Compliance & Standards, commented: “When our colleagues and the Cleaning Team at Parliament Buildings, Stormont, Belfast brought home that Golden Service Award in 2024, it set a buzz of celebration through the whole company, and we are still buzzing.
“This prestigious recognition is a true reflection of their training, the hard work, dedication and professionalism of every team member. From being shortlisted as finalists to being crowned winners, the journey has been nothing short of inspiring.”

Neil continued: “We have been staunch supporters of the GSA awards for many years; each award ceremony we invite members of our onsite cleaning team and clients alike. Without doubt, we can see a significant growth in stature of our teams knowing that on this occasion they have been independently recognised and acknowledged as the best of the best, and that all of their efforts have not gone unnoticed. The awards give our teams a sense of pride and a willingness to improve beyond all expectations.”
