BICSc chairman Bill McMillan said: "I think it is really important to acknowledge that it is through the hard work and dedication of the members of the BICSc Northern Ireland committee in organising these events each year that we are able to showcase the talent and dedication of the cleaning operatives within the cleaning industry in Northern Ireland. An industry that to the general public is almost invisible but is invaluable to the daily life in our schools, hospitals, universities, offices, factories and council buildings."

He added: "It is a recognised fact that through quality training and assessing; employers will reap the benefits of a workforce that feels valued, that leads to increased productivity, which in turn results in higher customer satisfaction and reduced levels of staff turnover. All of this I believe points to a bright and progressive future within the Northern Irish cleaning industry."
