NEWS THE CLEANING SHOW 2017 14TH - 16TH MARCH 2017, EXCEL LONDON H After the huge success of the Cleaning Show’s move to London in 2015, the 2017 event is expected to almost double in size. The extensive list of exhibitors who will be demonstrating their latest equipment and services includes Kärcher, Unger, Nilfisk, Kimberly-Clark Professional, Industrial Cleaning Equipment, Jangro, Kennedy Hygiene Products, Makita, Morclean, Pacvac, Pearrroc, Selden Research, Templa, Truvox, Vacleansa, Vileda Professional and many others. Hundreds of contract cleaners, facility managers and those who hold cleaning and hygiene responsibility have registered to attend the UK’s largest dedicated cleaning and hygiene event. Those attending will be able to try out products, learn from a wide range of free seminar sessions, get free advice, and network. After the move in 2015 to London, the Cleaning Show organisers introduced a series of exciting new features for the event, which ensured visitors and exhibitors time away from work was well spent. The 2017 event promises to be equally worthwhile. Highlights of the show will include: l A free seminar programme: The seminar programme will consider solutions to challenges currently facing the industry. Keynote topics already confirmed include creating a cleaner UK, developing a career in cleaning, the future of FM, health and safety in the cleaning industry, developing and growing your cleaning business, and your tool kit of the future. l The Management Systems Zone: A new technology zone will be unveiled at the Cleaning Show 2017 and will be focused on promoting an effective workforce and financial control systems. DRINKSTORE@RSS H Restaurant Supply Store will now be selling drink for the first time. The hospitality supplies website www. restaurantsupplystore. co.uk favoured for its wide-ranging selection, has launched DrinkStore@RSS by popular demand. CEO Jon Shepherd explains: “When drink is kept separate in procurement, it just becomes another item on the to-do list. We like to make things simpler for our customers, so now they can deal with a single, trusted supplier who will handle everything for them.”  The new range takes in the entire beverage spectrum, from beers, perry and cider to spirits, wine, champagne and everything in between – with an even bigger choice of barware and glasses thrown in for good measure. Whether you’re after well- known brands of beer, exotic mixers, or an obscure bottle of Armagnac, you’ll find it at DrinkStore. Customers will be required to sign in to purchase from DrinkStore. New visitors will simply need to register first - but after that, the drink will flow freely. 6 Housekeeping management l The Green Zone: Visitors to the Cleaning Show are increasingly looking for environmentally friendly products. This area will showcase a range of different companies, all focused on promoting environmentally sensitive cleaning practices. l The Cleaning Show Innovation Awards: The Cleaning Show Innovation Awards are presented across the following categories - Cleaning Products; Floor Cleaning; Outdoor Cleaning; Carpet Cleaning; Window Cleaning; Washroom Hygiene; Sustainable Cleaning; and Management Systems. A panel of professional judges will ensure an awards programme that is better than ever. The Award winners will be announced in the Seminar Theatre at 4.00pm on Tuesday 14 March. l Over 100 industry-leading companies showcased within the exhibition: The UK cleaning industry’s main producers and suppliers of machines, products and services will demonstrate their latest, cutting edge solutions.
