The BICSc Annual Awards were established to recognize outstanding excellence in accredited training and assessment, this year’s event promises to be the biggest and best yet.

The Annual Awards are being held at the Forest of Arden Hotel and Country Club, Birmingham, on Thursday 17th September 2015 with hundreds of cleaning and FM professionals expected to attend.

Last year’s event saw Marilyn Monroe handing out refreshments to guests, as we went for a Hollywood themed show with authentic walk-around characters. This year there is a different swing planned to entertain you.

In what is always a lively and fun packed evening, the Institute will present a number of awards to companies and individuals who have shown distinction in their category. Last year, the Institutes most prestige’s award, The Sholom Gordon, went to John Garfinkel of ISSA for his outstanding contribution to the Institute and industry as a whole.

The BICSc Annual Awards Dinner is a diary-must for anyone connected with the cleaning and training industry, in addition to the awards and entertainment, it’s a great opportunity to network and meet like-minded individuals within the industry.

Applications for the BICSc Annual Awards are now open, and the Institute would like to hear from companies and individuals who have made a definitive contribution to both the Institute and the industry.
