GOLDEN SERVICE AWARDS
SPONSORS SHINE A LIGHT
ON INDUSTRY EXCELLENCE
Created nearly 30 years ago, the Kimberly-Clark
Professional Golden Service Awards is today one
of the most sought-a er accolades in the FM and
cleaning industry.
As one of the industry’s most prestigious
events, the Golden Service Awards provides great
sponsorship opportunities with many PR benefits
and excellent branding and networking with a key
audience. The awards have been supported by some
of the leading names in the industry, with four new
sponsors announced for the 2020 event.
The new sponsors, led by Gold Sponsor Cleaning
and Hygiene Suppliers Association (CHSA)
also include Kärcher as a Silver sponsor, plus
InnuScience and Truvox as bronze sponsors. Bunzl
Cleaning and Hygiene returned to be silver sponsor
and the BCC return as bronze sponsor.
“Cleaning operatives and teams are the backbone
of our industry and deserve acknowledgement for
their contribution. The Golden Service Awards do
exactly that, celebrating the very best,” explains
Lorcan Mekitarian, Chairman of the CHSA.
Shining a light on standards
“Sponsoring the Golden Service Awards is also
the perfect opportunity to shine a light on our
commitment to standards, embodied by our
Accreditation Schemes for Manufacturers of So
Tissue, Plastic Refuse Sacks and Industrial Cotton
Mops and for Distributors. The Schemes guarantee
buyers and users of cleaning and hygiene products
can be certain what’s on the box is what’s in the
box. Our Standards. Your Guarantee,” adds Lorcan
Mekitarian.
“Our goal is to spread the word about the
Accreditation Schemes amongst buyers and
end users to persuade them to specify Scheme
membership in their tenders. Sponsorship of the
Awards is the perfect platform and enables us
the opportunity to show the value we and our
members place on the contribution of the cleaners
themselves.”
As new silver sponsor, Kärcher, a global leader in
cleaning technology, explains: “The GSA are widely
regarded as the most prestigious in the UK and the
most hard fought to achieve,” says Marcus Heap,
Sales Director, Kärcher.

accessories and full service, all delivered to our
own high standards. Our approach is to focus
on cleaning challenges and match the correct
solutions from highly mobile battery powered
vacuums, industrial vacuums, all types of floor
care, municipal sweepers right through to turnkey

“A couple of specific areas that will be of interest
to the Golden Service Awards’ audience will be
our Classic range of floor care and our new battery
platform. Both address key areas of ease of use,
a ordability, high quality and productivity,” adds
Marcus Heap from Kärcher.
“Kärcher is synonymous with quality and
innovation, therefore being a sponsor fits well with
how we want to be seen in the industry. We are
striving for excellence and we want to recognise
similar companies who are seen by their peers to be
the best in their field,” says Marcus Heap.
Silver sponsor Bunzl Cleaning and Hygiene
supplies adds: “It is extremely important to
Bunzl Cleaning and Hygiene Supplies to support

“One of the reasons why the Kimberly-Clark

to the support of our sponsors, which includes
the industry’s foremost companies and brands”
