BICSc Awards finalists revealed
The finalists in this year’s British Institute of Cleaning Science annual Awards program have just been announced, following the Judges’ mammoth trawl through a record number of entries - up 25% on previous years.
"We were thrilled to receive record numbers of nominations which demonstrates how highly regarded the Awards are within the global professional cleaning industry,” says Neil Spencer-Cook, BICSc group managing director. “We look forward to celebrating with the winners at our Awards ceremony later this year and congratulate everyone who entered and were nominated - an achievement in itself."
