Darren Marston becomes new Master of WCEC
10 April 2025
ON FRIDAY 4 April Darren Marston was officially installed as Master of the Worshipful Company of Environmental Cleaners (WCEC) at the iconic Mansion House, London. This is a significant milestone in Darren's distinguished career and years of dedication to the Cleaning industry’s Livery Company.
A business owner with over 30 years of experience and executive chairman of Industrial Cleaning Equipment Ltd (ICE), Darren has built a career centred on innovation and professional excellence. Starting at just 18 years of age as a janitorial supplies salesman, he developed expertise in cleaning chemistry, laying the foundation for his successful business. His early insights into product safety and efficacy shaped his approach to problem-solving and adaptability in a rapidly evolving industry.
More recently, Darren has been at the forefront of innovation, leading advancements in telemetry and robotics, which have transformed cleaning practices and industry practices and standards.
Reflecting on his appointment, Darren said: “I’m honoured and grateful to be appointed Master of the Environmental Cleaners. Livery fellowship has been transformative and rewarding for me personally and I intend to build on the achievements of my predecessors. That means championing the CPR (Chartered Practitioners Register) scheme and promoting our livery’s excellent charitable work in the community and beyond.”
By all accounts, attendees enjoyed the Installation Banquet in a fun atmosphere laced with tradition and warm fellowship. Darren even presented a cheque to the Lady Mayoress for the Lord Mayor's Appeal.
As well as the new Master, the WCEC has also announced its new senior warden Kevin Meighan and junior warden, Phil Smith.
