We are saddened to report on the passing of respected industry figure Roger Dickinson, of R&J Hygiene.

A great source of information and assistance to so many in the washroom service industry, Roger was always willing to offer his time, experience and contacts to help others out in any way he could. Everyone in the washroom service industry knew of him, or at least knew of him as the ‘go-to man’ for advice or support.

Roger had previously worked at Cannon Hygiene, Technical Concepts and Buffalo Solutions, and in the 1990s he was well known for hosting social events for Buffalo’s customers at Hall Green Greyhound track in Birmingham. In recent years Roger saw the opportunity to gather a network of smaller washroom service companies in order to compete for national accounts, and while this was not successful at the time, it paved the way for this type of network to evolve in the industry.

The washroom service industry as a whole will miss Roger greatly, and we would like to pass on our condolences to his friends and family at this difficult time.
