ECJ EUROPEAN Cleaning Journal

The European Federation of Cleaning Industries (EFCI) is giving its support to the inaugural European Cleaning & Hygiene Awards by becoming the official trade partner. As such, EFCI is now calling on all professionals in the industry to submit an entry, book their place at the conference and join them in Barcelona this September.

There are millions of people working in the professional cleaning sector across Europe, many of whom are members of EFCI. They play an essential role in health, wellbeing, image and perception. Amongst this workforce are examples of innovation, excellence and leadership worth celebrating, and these awards are the best way to show colleagues, customers and stakeholders that you really are on top of your game.

Commenting on EFCI's involvement with the awards, Andreas Lill, director of the Federation said: "The European Cleaning & Hygiene Awards will be a prominent occasion in the professional cleaning sector calendar, recognising innovation and success. It is important for our industry to have an event of this type across Europe as it offers a great opportunity to share best practice and to develop our profession. We are excited to be part of this inaugural event and look forward to seeing many of our members and fellow professionals there, receiving the recognition they so rightly deserve."

Founded by European Cleaning Journal (ECJ), the high profile awards will take place at the luxury five-star Majestic Hotel in Barcelona, on Thursday September 29, and offers fantastic business networking opportunities with key influencers, business owners and industry leaders. The awards will also provide educational prospects with roundtable discussions and a conference.

Submissions are welcomed from building service contractors, distributors, facilities managers, manufacturers and individuals, and provides organisations with an excellent opportunity to thank contractors, by nominating them for an award.

Entrants have until midday on Friday June 24 to submit their 500 word entry for the judges' consideration. With a wide selection of categories to choose from, those ahead of their field are strongly encouraged to submit an entry.
