Green washroom consultancy achieves prestigious industry recognition
March 31st 2008 Most businesses now recognise the need to address their environmental impact and the cleaning industry is no exception.
At a recent awards ceremony held at the Crowne Plaza in Birmingham on Thursday 28th February, environmental washroom consultancy Green Planet Solutions scooped the prestigious title of ‘Supplier of the Year’ at the Interserve ‘Best of the Best’ awards.
Green Planet Solutions ( www.greenplanetsolutions.co.uk) specialises in helping businesses to improve their washroom facilities whilst reducing their impact on the environment. The company offers products and a service that has become widely sought after amongst a growing number of businesses.
Interserve is one of the biggest facilities management companies in the UK. The ‘Best of the Best’ awards recognise the best performers within Interserve’s workforce and suppliers, therefore acknowledgement from such a key figure within the industry is a great achievement for a company such as Green Planet Solutions.
On choosing the winner, Interserve stated that innovation and sustainability are two of their main considerations when choosing a supplier and it was important that neither should be at the expense of service, value or performance. Due to the services provided by Green Planet Solutions that covered all of these requirements, Interserve felt that the company deserved recognition. Jon Crump, Procurement Director at Interserve, commented:
"Green Planet Solutions have brought some truly innovative washroom solutions to the market and on hearing positive feedback from their existing clients, we felt confident in becoming their first partner in the facilities management sector. Through their work they have enabled us to proactively innovate for our clients which is essential at a time when sustainability has never been more of a concern – that in itself made it clear that Green Planet Solutions really deserved this award."
Matt Anderson, Managing Director of Green Planet Solutions, was delighted that the company’s work had been recognised by such an established industry figure. He said:
"It’s great to win this award, especially when we are at a relatively early time in our development. It shows that environmental issues are becoming increasingly important for businesses. Our partnership with Interserve has already helped us to make a big difference and we have really appreciated their receptiveness and support which has been a key element of our success to date."
Green Planet Solutions was set up in January 2007 and has already acquired some big name partnerships with the likes of Interserve and MacLellan, as well as strong distribution channels through companies such as Bunzl, The Wandsworth Group and Shorrock Trichem.

The company provides a number of exclusive eco-friendly products from energy efficient air hand dryers, to microbiological cleaning solutions and continues to introduce new products to their portfolio.
Matt Anderson believes that the need for new and innovative green cleaning products has never been greater. He said:
"At a time when the government is putting more green legislation into effect and consumer attitudes are changing, businesses are increasingly taking action to reduce their environmental impact. In an attempt to stay one step ahead of their competitors, companies are constantly looking for new and innovative ways in which they can become more sustainable and eco-friendly.
