BICSc Northern Ireland awards 'Cleaning Operative of the Year'

The City of Belfasts Lord Mayor Nuala Mc Allister opened the ceremony in the company of the BICSc NI Branch Chairman Colm McGrath, CEO Stan Atkins and Denise Hanson, the BICSc National Chairperson.

Entries were received from both public and private cleaning organisations from across Northern Ireland. 

The event's sponsors – Zenith Hygiene, Consumable Products, Carey Floorcare, Kimberly-Clark, Bunzl and BICSc N.I. – had the difficult task of judging the large number of entries received.

This year’s overall winner of 'BICSc NI Cleaning Operative of the Year' was Alison Bell from Aramark at Rathgael House, Bangor.

The Chairman of BICSc NI gave a keynote speech in which he thanked the MC for the ceremony, Mr Michael Henderson MBE, and all nominators for putting forward their nominees for this year's awards.

He also highlighted the important role undertaken by cleaning operatives who are often in early doors or late in the evening but ensure our buildings are kept to a high standard of cleanliness thus ensuring a safe and hygienic environment for customers/clients.
