The finalists of the European Cleaning & Hygiene Awards 2019 have been announced. Following a record year for entries, 23 leading service providers, manufacturers and distributors have made the shortlist across nine categories.
Now in their fourth year, the awards recognise standards of excellence in the professional cleaning industry and are the only pan-European awards for the sector.
Editor of the European Cleaning Journal and member of the judging panel, Michelle Marshall, said: “We’ve had some outstanding entries this year, and with over 130 nominations received, the judges certainly had their work cut out when it came to narrowing down to a shortlist.
“All our entrants should be incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication that they have demonstrated towards the professional cleaning sector but there can only be 10 winners on the night. We feel our shortlist shines a spotlight on some of the most innovative, disruptive companies in the industry.”
