The Golden Service awards are one of the most important events in the cleaning industry’s calendar. Organised in partnership with British Cleaning Council member the Cleaning and Support Services Association (CSSA), the awards recognise excellence and achievement in cleaning during a glittering awards ceremony and dinner. This years awards were no exception, held at the prestigious Lancaster London Hotel on Friday 1st November.
The British Cleaning Council is proud to sponsor the award for Site Supervisor of the Year, which went to Angelica Martinez from Principle Cleaning Services for the iconic Lloyd’s Building, London.
The Council extends congratulations to all the winners of awards, which are essential to recognising those who push forward innovation, standards and the image of our industry.
Chairman Douglas Cooke said: “It’s always fantastic to see new and old faces honoured for their services to the cleaning industry. The Golden Service Awards honour those within our sector who drive up standards, contribute to the quality of life in the United Kingdom through safer public areas and work places, and ensure that the cleaning industry’s image continues to improve. It was particularly pleasing to see so many active members of our industry’s associations among those successful. Our congratulations and thanks go to all the winners and supporters of these very important awards.”
