2019 European Cleaning & Hygiene Awards - finalists announced
14th of August 2019The finalists for the 2019 European Cleaning & Hygiene Awards have been announced, following a record year for entries.
Now in their fourth year, the awards recognise standards of excellence in the professional cleaning industry and are the only pan-European awards for the sector. The winners will be revealed at the awards ceremony and gala dinner on October 17 at The Church House, London.
ECJ editor and member of the judging panel Michelle Marshall said: "We've had some outstanding entries this year, and with over 130 nominations received, the judges certainly had their work cut out when it came to narrowing down to a shortlist.
"All our entrants should be incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication they have demonstrated towards the professional cleaning sector but there can only be nine winners on the night. We feel our shortlist shines a spotlight on some of the most innovative, disruptive companies in the industry and we wish them the best of luck for October 17."
