Already set to be bigger than the first Manchester event in terms of floorspace, visitor registration figures also suggest it will be busier than in 2016 with over 1,000 people having already booked an entry ticket which are available free of charge. 

Free seminars include discussion on raising professional standards, improving skills provision, the need for more robust and fair procurement practices and the impending recruitment crisis facing the industry. 

The potential impact of Brexit on employment will also be discussed by Bespoke Cleaning Solutions, while the consequences of the UK leaving Europe from a more commercial perspective will be explored by contract cleaning firm Cleanology.

Doing better business, and increasing productivity, are other areas set to be discussed through the show’s speaker programme. SmartTask will be examining the issue of improved efficiency, while experts from the worlds of sales, marketing and PR will be demonstrating how digital channels and integrated communications can boost customer engagement and drive new business.

In the exhibition area leading brands and manufacturers will be demonstrating their newest products.
Nilfisk, Karcher and Killis will all be promoting the latest advances in their services and equipment, as will firms such as Floorbrite, Bunzl, SmartTask, Host, Duplex, Greyland and Prochem. 

 
Dennis Rawlins, Sebo, Vaclensa, Telelog, Templa and UhUb will also be exhibiting at the show, alongside niche suppliers including Osprey Deepclean, RPC, Arrow County Supplies, Biovation, GermXit, Moreclean and Cromwell Polythene.

In addition, Jangro have confirmed that they will be bringing their popular double decker bus to Manchester, which was debuted at The Cleaning Show in London last year. 

 
Suppliers to niche sectors such as healthcare, retail and leisure, transport, public buildings and window cleaning will also be well represented.
