The British Cleaning Council (BCC), which represents over 20 national trade associations linked to the UK’s cleaning, hygiene and waste management sectors, officially elected a new Chairman and Deputy Chair at its 2019 Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Paul Thrupp, who was the Council’s Deputy Chair and Operations Director at OCS, was voted in as the new BCC Chairman. He will also continue to represent the Federation of Window Cleaners on the Council. Mr Thrupp succeeds Stan Atkins, who stepped down after two years at the BCC helm. Mr Atkins will remain a member of the BCC in his role as Council member for BICSc.
Following a second vote, the vacant Deputy position was taken by Jim Melvin. Mr Melvin is Group Chief Executive of Exclusive Services Group and has represented the CSSA on the British Cleaning Council since November 2017.
A third vote saw Simon Hollinbery, a former BCC Chair, re-appointed as the Council’s Company Secretary.
