The Cleaning Show
Show preview

With cleaning a key issue for clubs, operators should check out this event at the NEC next month


The countdown is on to the opening of the world’s leading showcase for products and services used in the cleaning and support services industry. An essential event for health club managers, The Cleaning Show 2013 – set to be the largest in the event’s history, with pre-registered visitors up by 70 per cent – will take place on 19–21 March at Birmingham’s NEC.

With more than 200 exhibitors showcasing a broad range of equipment and services, and over 12,000 visitors expected – plus a host of new features for 2013 – The Cleaning Show is the must-attend event of the year.

Exhibitor line-up
Delegates can expect to find a wealth of products, information and ideas designed to help them to lower costs, improve standards, tackle problems such as pests and chewing gum, improve hygiene and cleanliness to stamp out MRSA, as well as advice on issues concerning insurance, employment legislation and the latest environmental information.

The 2013 event has also attracted a significant number of high-profile companies exhibiting for the first time, including the Independent Washroom Services Association, KGS Diamond International, The Malish Corporation, Reintec and TVH UK.

Martin Scott, exhibition sales director, says: “We expect The Cleaning Show 2013 to attract a record-breaking number of visitors and exhibitors. Exhibitors have one opportunity every two years to get their products in front of a massive buying audience, and they are certainly grasping this opportunity with both hands.”

New features
The popular window cleaning competition returns for 2013. Window cleaners may pit their skills against the clock for a daily cash prize and the chance to compete against the world’s fastest window cleaner, Terry Burrows, in a bid to take the world title.

Several new features have also been introduced to the 2013 event, further increasing the benefits of visiting the show. The Innovation Zone celebrates the growing success of The Cleaning Show Innovation Awards. Exhibitors have been entering their innovations online, across a range of categories, for the 2013 awards. For the first time, these will be featured in an Innovation Zone at the show. Judging, by a team of industry professionals, will take place on the opening day.

An exit survey at The Cleaning Show 2011 revealed that green products are a major area of interest for visitors, and as such, a new Green Zone has been introduced to help companies to source more environmentally-friendly products and services.

The Business Hub Zone will introduce show visitors to essential services and will feature companies within the insurance, finance, recruitment, IT, marketing & PR, design and training sectors. Facing the internet café, this is sure to be a busy area.

Also brand new for 2013 is the Laundry Zone, a showcase for companies making or supplying products and services for the textile care industry.
