It is with great sadness that we must report that Chris Klopper, a well-known and much loved figure in the cleaning industry, has passed away following a short illness.

Chris was the founder and CEO of Mulberry Marketing Communications, an international PR and marketing communications consultancy which worked closely with the industry since its inception in 1995.

He has been a close friend of Tomorrow’s Cleaning over the years, and he will be profoundly missed by the team here at Opus.

Mark Hanson, publisher of Tomorrow’s Cleaning, commented: “I have known Chris for over 36 years. We have travelled the world together attending many trade shows. Chris was a fantastic ambassador for the cleaning industry. He will be missed by many.”

Our thoughts are with Chris’s wife, two children, and the rest of his friends and family.
