BCC members met this week in sunny Northampton for the AGM and quarterly Council meeting.

The Council was pleased to hear that the Conference in November is well ahead of schedule, with all key speakers in place, big sponsors on board, good media coverage and ticket sales well underway – just one week after launch.

The Cleaning Show, making its Excel debut in March 2015, was also discussed in detail, with Quartz sales manger Vanessa Martinez telling the board that sponsorship is continuing to come in, and there could be further news around this in the coming weeks. Overall the board was very pleased with the way the show is shaping up and expressed confidence that the move to London will be a huge success

After the main Council meeting, there was a short AGM before members relaxed with a light sandwich lunch.

The BCC would like to thank Sealed Air, Diversey Care, at Weston Favell Centre, Northampton for their hospitality.
