Showing the way in servicing
April 1st 2009 DIY servicing, outsourcing or a blend of both was the new offer from Trade Hygiene
Trade Hygiene reckons it was
one of the busiest stands at
this year's Cleaning Show
and is currently processing
hundreds of good quality leads.
The self service, biodegradable
BioBin was the most popular
product on Trade Hygiene's
stand, but there has also been
strong interest in the multipurpose
eBins and highspeed/
low temperature
SpeedFlow and DualFlow hand
dryers.
"This year's Cleaning Show was
the first major opportunity Trade
Hygiene has had to test its offer
of DIY servicing, outsourced
servicing or taking a blended
approach, on such a large scale," says Mary Neaves, commercial
director at Direct Hygiene (Trade Hygiene's parent company)."We had
a big response from PCTs and universities in particular, but plenty of
resellers with medium-to-large accounts could see the potential of
our offer for their businesses as well. Our feet haven't touched the
ground since we got back from the show and I'm sure Trade Hygiene
will be back in 2011!"
Cleaning Matters also spoke to Trade Hygiene's director, Roger 'Mr
Sanibin'Dickinson. He was having a great time on the stand and had
a few words for non-attendees.
"Two years ago when times were much more buoyant, people
didn't have time to come to the show, which is fair enough – but now
it seems that some can't be bothered. People need to support the
show – otherwise it won't exist.This is their industry and they should
make the effort. Everyone here is enthusiastic, they've got good
stands and they're working hard. It's a pleasure to be here meeting so
many people."
Dickinson said that the company's aim for the show was,"to launch
Trade Hygiene as one of the main distributors." He also discussed the
reasons for the greener direction of products, in particular the BioBin
Sanitary bin which features a completely disposable cartridge,
consisting of sack and lid, which is simply removed and replaced.
"We felt it was important. People are aware that plastic bags can
last 10 -15 years.With the BioBin, the sack and the lid break down
after about two years.We're concentrating on the environmental
push, without the environmental 'kick' of extra costs."
The BioBin is the first sanitary
disposal bin to receive a Carbon
Footprint rating. More articles from Direct Hygiene Ltd: |
