Time for a name change

Albany Washroom Services has formally changed its company name to Albany Hygiene Facilities, with immediate effect.MD Mike Burton emphasises that this is a change of name only.

"It is the same company, with the same ownership, partners and services," he says."The name has changed because Albany now offers so much more than just washroom services." Albany has grown to offer additional services such as hygiene audits, infection control and hygiene training, remedying sick building syndrome and clinical waste management.

"Albany is also involved in research into the control of infection," says Burton."The Department of Health has recently approved part funding of a Knowledge Transfer Partnership 'For the Health of the Nation', between Queen Mary, University of London and Albany.

It will research the methodology required to break the chain of infection in schools."Anyone concerned about the name change should call the company.
