The Kimberly-Clark Professional Golden Service Awards 2022 will open for entries on 20 July, and this year all entrants are invited to attend a free ‘How to Enter’ webinar on Thursday 29 July at 10:30AM.
Participants will learn first-hand how to maximise the chances of winning a coveted Golden Service Award from the 19 categories across key sectors healthcare, education, offices, retail and manufacturing.
Steve Jones, General Manager UK & Ireland at Kimberly-Clark Professional, explained: “Over the last 30 years of running the industry leading awards, Kimberly-Clark Professional has developed a highly experienced pot of knowledge about how to prepare the best winning entries.
“Working with the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc), who are the independent judges for all the awards, we have collected expert advice about how to highlight the highest standards of cleanliness and the excellence of cleaning teams.”
The webinar will be hosted by Kimberly-Clark Professional and in cooperation with BICSc, the judges, and Suzanne Howe Communications, the organisers of the event. All potential entrants are invited to attend by registering here.
Together, the presenters will guide participants through the entry process, provide an understanding of the categories and specify what the judges are looking for. The webinar has some hints and tips to make the entry process straightforward and give yourself the best chance to be a winner.
