BCC welcomes the IWSA as a new member
22 April 2025
THE BRITISH Cleaning Council (BCC) has voted unanimously to accept the Independent Washroom Services Association (IWSA) as its latest member.

The IWSA is the nationwide, non-profit making trade association for independent providers of washroom services within the UK and Ireland, and will become The BCC's 22nd member. All IWSA members sign up to a code of conduct to ensure they meet high standards and deliver a high-quality service to customers.
BCC chair Delia Cannings said: “I am delighted that the IWSA has joined the BCC and I very warmly welcome it.
“The synergy between the BCC and the IWSA will strengthen both organisations and help us make the cleaning, hygiene and waste sector’s voice heard more loudly.
“This will also expand our coverage in the toilet and washroom sector, providingopportunities for our members the British Toilet Association (BTA) and the IWSA to work in partnership.”
Chairperson of the IWSA Paul Thrupp (pictured) said: “These are exciting times for the IWSA, and we are grateful to the BCC and its members for the opportunity to join a wonderful trade association that does so much for the cleaning, hygiene and waste industries.
“The members of the IWSA are experienced washroom specialists who collaborate, share knowledge, and address common challenges and our mission is to establish and maintain industry standards and best practices, ensuring quality and consistency among independent washroom service providers.
“There will be many opportunities to work with other BCC members to promote our industries and particularly in respect of washroom hygiene.”
