ICCA reveals class of 2018

The recent Irish Contract Cleaning Association (ICCA) Industry Awards ceremony was held on 19 October at the Mansion House in Dublin, with over 250 in attendance representing commercial contract cleaning personnel, service providers and guests.

The independently judged awards recognised service excellence in the industry and celebrated the work being carried out behind the scenes on sites by contract cleaning companies and in-house cleaning teams around the country. Independently appointed judge, Siobhan Prout, who undertook site visits throughout the summer months, noted that the cleaning standard of sites was extremely high and made assessment challenging.

The awards were attended by some of the key companies in the sector including NOONAN, Derrycourt, Cagney Contract Cleaning, SSE, MCR, Ryans Cleaning, Moore Services, ECO-Group, Momentum, ISS and Grosvenor.

Bunzl Cleaning and Safety Supplies (BCSS) was the lead sponsor for the awards.
