There will also be a Lifetime Achievement Award, selected by the judging panel. Sponsored by Ceris Burns International

The judging panel was made up of ECJ editor Michelle Marshall; industry consultant Jean-Marc Flaux (France); director of contract cleaning association BIV Johannes Bungart (Germany); president of contract cleaning association ASPEL Juan Díez de los Ríos de San Juan (Spain); and industry consultant Lynn Webster (UK).

"As a panel we were all thoroughly impressed with the standard of information submitted by all the entrants," said Michelle Marshall. "We were also delighted with the number of entries across the categories, which exceeded our expectations in this, our first year."

She continued: "This level of participation from the industry only reinforces our belief that as a sector we have a great deal to be proud of in terms of initiatives concerning service excellence, client relationships, investment in workforce and creating sustainable businesses.

"We now look forward to welcoming the finalists to Barcelona in September and celebrating their success."

The delegate rate of €285 includes a first class lunch, round table discussions, three conference sessions, face-to-face networking opportunities, three-course dinner and - most importantly - the awards ceremony itself.
