The 57 finalists will now go through to the next stage of judging which for most categories includes a site visit by a BICSc judge. The site visits will take place during November and December and the judging panel are looking for innovation, staff training and client relationships as the main criteria to be assessed.
The judges work to the BICSc Best Value document before they carry out their site visits. In addition, there will be a head judge and a compliance officer.
Stan Atkins, BICSc CEO says: "Congratulations to all finalists. The standard of entries was exceptionally high with evidence of clear innovations and achievements across the industry.
"The judges look forward to meeting the finalists at the site visits, and it is important to stress that they will be judging standards achieved and not just whether the entry specifications are followed."
BICSc is overseeing all stages of the judging. An independent judge has been appointed for the BICSc Industry Training Award, in the interests of fairness.
The winners will be announced at the London Hilton on Park Lane on Thursday 8 March 2018. Over 500 guests including finalists and sponsors are expected to come together to celebrate the latest achievements of the UK's cleaning and FM industry.
The event will provide a great opportunity for networking, hospitality and team building, or indeed for some well-earned celebrations. Tables of 10 are available to accommodate your colleagues and clients. Make sure you don't miss out and book early to avoid disappointment.
