Golden Service Awards 2009 sees impressive number of entries

The organisers of the Golden Services Awards 2009 have announced that this year’s programme attracted an impressive number of entries from both large and small, as well as in-house and contract cleaning companies throughout the UK. In all, there were 138 entries for the 15 categories and certain categories, such as C&M’s Best Cleaned Premises – Offices above 15,000 sq. ft. attracted 38 entries alone.

In addition to the large number of entries received overall, the organisers were pleased to see some excellent entries for the Service Delivery Innovation of the Year category which is new this year.

“We did think that the economic climate would affect this year’s results but that hasn’t been the case at all,” says Michel Le Borgne, Marketing Manager, UK & Ireland at Kimberly-Clark Professional. “The judges are now in the process of conducting the site visits and from the quality of the submissions we received we know it will be a hard task for them to determine the final winners.”

Initial judging was based on the entry form submission. From this, a number of finalists were selected in each category. The first stage of judging was carried out by an independent panel including representatives from The Cleaning & Support Services Association, The British Cleaning Council, the British Institute of Cleaning Science and Cleaning & Maintenance magazine.

Innovation, staff management, training and client relationship were among the main criteria to be assessed and it was not the size of a business that was judged but the quality of the service provided.

The winners will be announced at the prestigious awards ceremony at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London on Friday 30th October 2009. Comedian Rhod Gilbert will be performing. Tickets will be priced at £100 plus VAT and if you would like to book:
