A Message from the Chair

It is nearly two months since I took on the role of National Chairman of the Institute, following on from Terry Brooks who has been a marvellous guide and mentor. My acceptance speech, which I gave at the Annual Awards Dinner, was received positively and I have had many messages of welcome and support, for which I thank you.

These messages wholeheartedly endorse the Institute’s combined aims of raising the cleaning industry standards, as well as raising the profile and public perception of cleaning. The Institute is in an excellent position to improve the public’s understanding of the importance and value of the role the cleaner in all walks of daily life, across the healthcare, retail, education, hospitality, street cleaning, and general maintenance sectors.

The many positive steps taken by the Institute during the last year have served to improve the quality and overall provision of our service, and we can continue to consolidate this position together, into the future.

I aim to visit as many of the active Regions and Nations during the next 12 months as possible in addition to providing support to those less active ones, helping them to grow and develop forward so look forward to meeting many members and their guests at some of these events.
