The CSSA and the Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers Association (CHSA) are creating an ‘Innovation Showcase’ to celebrate the cleaning industry’s brightest ideas.
To be held on 15 March 2018 at The Brewery, City of London, the event will showcase the most innovative products, services and initiatives in the industry.
Preceding the showcase, on 12 February there will be a ‘Dragon’s Den’ panel of leading industry figures to select the innovations that will ‘showcase’ at the main event. All applicants will be given an opportunity to convince the panel that their innovation should make the cut.
Stephen Harrison, CHSA Chairman and Harrison Wipes’ Managing Director, said: “Innovation is the lifeblood of our members, and we applaud the CSSA’s initiative in establishing this Innovation Showcase and are delighted to sponsor it. We’re encouraging our members to shout about their innovations and achievements and apply to be part of the Innovation Showcase.”
CSSA Marketing Director Sean Taylor commented: “Last year we held the inaugural CSSA Awards at the Cleaning Show, and we wanted something for this year that showcased bright ideas and innovation and that’s why we’re holding this showcase. I urge people across the industry to take part. It should be great fun, but it will also be an opportunity to share great ideas with others.”
Marks & Spencer Innovation Champion, Mark Meadows, will provide a keynote speech at the event, and CSSA members, their guests, as well as other leading professionals in the cleaning industry will be in attendance.
