The Cleaning Show Conference Sessions provide a platform for industry professionals to exchange knowledge, promote best practice, and discuss the future of cleaning and hygiene. Bunzl Cleaning & Hygiene Supplies (BCHS) will attend multiple sessions across the three days, including ‘A Structured Approach to Training, Education and Development for the Cleaning Sector’, ‘Industry Panel: The Evolution of Cleaning in FM’, and ‘Industry Panel: The Supply Chain – Changing Habits and Values’. These sessions will explore innovative approaches for a sustainable future, which mirror some of the approaches we will be showcasing on our stand (Stand B5).
Industry Panel: The Evolution of Cleaning in FM
This session offers an invaluable opportunity to hear firsthand experiences from some of our customers on the panel. Hosted by industry expert Yvonne Taylor, the discussion will provide a frontline perspective on how cleaning in the facility management sector has transformed. Bunzl Cleaning & Hygiene Supplies look forward to joining this session as we continue to elevate our solutions with an ever-growing focus on smart solutions for the future including the latest advancements in machine cleaning. Our latest partnership with Gausium shows our commitment to bringing innovation and efficiency to our customers. We look forward to hearing the topics discussed in this conference session to continue our drive for the evolution of future sustainable innovations.
Industry Panel: The Supply Chain – Changing Habits and Values
This session highlights the importance of social enterprise, local sourcing, and sustainability in Facility Management supply chains. Bunzl Cleaning & Hygiene Supplies will attend as part of our drive to buy from social enterprises. We recently launched our Purposeful Providers Programme to spotlight businesses making a social impact that we can support by purchasing goods and services from them. We’ll listen to how we can support customers in integrating social value businesses into their operations. We are proud to work with Amplify Goods, a diverse certified social enterprise supporting grassroots initiatives. This session will provide crucial information on the growing need for social value and its impact in the UK.
A Structured Approach to Training, Education and Development for the Cleaning Sector
This expert panel will review training and education at all career levels in the cleaning and hygiene sectors to discuss creating a structured approach to qualifications. Bunzl Cleaning & Hygiene Supplies is enhancing training with the Advantage Learn platform, which offers educational videos, coupled with a full Learning Management System, to improve cleaning skills. These videos were developed with guidance from industry experts Lorraine Larman and Lynn Webster. We look forward to the session to learn about future training and education developments in the industry.
