The ‘Wandanext’ by Bunzl Cleaning and Hygiene Suppliers has come out on top in the final of the CSSA and CHSA Innovation Showcase.
In front of 140 cleaning industry professionals gathered at the Brewery in London, eight companies were invited to the final of the Showcase after successfully getting navigating through a ‘Dragon’s Den’-style round earlier this year. Bunzl were awarded a 3D glass trophy as the inaugural winners.
Other exhibitors included DorsaVi, Rubbermaid, ICE, Ucomply and Unger. Cheeky Panda were runners up, while Clarity The Soap Company received recognition for the innovative social enterprise of their organisation.
Charlotte Parr, Account Director at Bunzl Cleaning and Hygiene Supplies, said: “We are delighted to have won this award and would like to thank the CSSA and CHSA for organising it. We are passionate about driving the cleaning and FM industry forward through Innovation, and Wanda is a very innovative product, so we are really pleased it has been recognised by the industry in this way.”
John Findlater, CSSA Chief Executive Officer, said: “I’d like to thank everyone who took part, our sponsors CHSA and all the attendees who turned up for the event. The Innovation Showcase gives our members and others in the industry the chance to see the very latest cutting edge products, demonstrated right in front of their eyes. A case of not telling the industry about innovations but bringing the industry to the Innovators! This was a hugely successful event and we hope to repeat it again in 2020.”
