New training centre launched
October 1st 2005

JohnsonDiversey (JD) has opened its 250-person capacity customer centre in Northampton. JD provide cleaning and hygiene products and services to industries that include Healthcare, Government & Education, BSC, Food Service and Contract Catering, Laundry and Lodging, Retail, Processed Food, Dairy and Beverage Manufacturers and Channel Distributors.

JD has long been an advocate of green business understanding the critical connection between good environmental practice and good business. In the 1970s JD was the first to ban ozone-depleting chemicals from our aerosols products. In leading the way to becoming better citizens of the planet, JD says that it has received an enthusiastic response from our customers. The 'Green Cleaning'movement is catching hold across the world, as organisations become more sensitive to the environment and seek to improve working conditions for employees and family occupants.

In June this year, JD passed an independent audit of sustainability, conducted by Lloyds Register Quality Assurance, to become the first company in the Industrial and Institutional Cleaning industry to join the A.I.S.E. Charter of Sustainable Cleaning, an allindustry framework promoting sustainability across the whole product life-cycle, from design through manufacture, to use and disposal.

"The reason for creating this centre is simple: to enable JohnsonnDiversey to share what we do, with more people," says Paul Budworth of JD.

"You'll see around you examples of the different sectors our company serves, products and systems from our comprehensive portfolio, the latest screens and digital equipment for presentations, there are meeting areas with conferencing facilities; recent press and news articles at our News Stand; an up to date library of information available and much more".

The new training centre was then officially opened by Professor David Bellamy and Laura Daniels and Freida Eden from Woodhey's Primary School who last night at the BCI Awards Dinner collected their prize as this year's winner of the David Bellamy Award for Environmental Cleanliness, organised by BICS and sponsored by ourselves.
