It’s been another great success with the BICSc Awards this year. With some fantastic winners and an overall brilliant event which we hope all attendees enjoyed.

Before the evening awards ceremony began, the BICSc Awards 2025 included a busy daytime programme that proved to be a great success. Held at Whittlebury Hall & Spa, the event welcomed guests from across the cleaning and hygiene industry. The exhibition gave sponsors and leading organisations the chance to showcase their latest products, services, and innovations, while also allowing visitors to network and share ideas. Alongside this, the Industry Insights Conference offered a series of talks and presentations from expert speakers. The daytime sessions created plenty of opportunities for learning and discussion, and they set the stage perfectly for the evening celebrations.

It was then time for our main event – The BICSc Awards!

The annual awards shine a spotlight on the global cleaning community toasting the achievements of individuals and teams, recognising their dedication in multiple roles within the industry.

The BICSc Awards are industry-leading and every year the Institute is inundated with nominations, with this year proving phenomenally popular receiving a record number of entries, which were up by 25%.

Out of the huge amount of entries, the deserving winners were chosen, and were celebrated in style at the black-tie event with a drinks reception, awards ceremony, and three course dinner followed by live entertainment.
