British Cleaning Council Chairman Jim Melvin has been discussing the ongoing severe staff shortage in the cleaning and hygiene sector on Radio 4’s flagship news programme, Today.
Jim Melvin was interviewed on the programme on Saturday about how staff absences caused by the latest Covid-19 variant are combining with a major recruitment crisis in the sector to leave some staff burnt out. He was joined for the interview by a headteacher who also spoke about the issue in her sector.
