Read what others are saying about The Cleaning Show

Our stand has been very busy throughout the show.  The quality of visitors has been very high and from a wide variety of sectors.

Having visited the show as a visitor many times over the past few years, this was my first year as an exhibitor.  The show this year was more compact and had less emphasis on the social side and more on the business.  This presented huge benefits to those who did exhibit as the quality of the visitors was exceptional and from the BICSc point of view we had an extremely busy three days with over 50 leads, not counting existing members that came to us just to say hello or with other queries.  The show for us appears to have been a success (obviously time will tell!).  Congratulations to Quartz on a well managed event.

Nettuno was fully satisfied with the show. The organisation was really good and the number of visitors and contacts we got was beyond expectation.

Viola Paissoni – Export Manager
Nettuno s.r.l

We attended the Cleaning Show for the second time and it has been a great success for us. It clearly shows that Cleaning Show visitors are looking for new and alternative products, and therefore the response and feedback to our range have been very positive. We received serious distributorship requests, which is what we were looking for.

Emre Bayin – Director
Bayersan UK Ltd

This is the best show he has ever exhibited at;  the interest from contract cleaners have been fantastic and consistent throughout the show.   The quality of visitors was very high and exceeded all expectations!

Stephen Coleman

The show has been very good and we have given away over 800 brochures.  We will definitely be exhibiting again!

Erik van Liempd
Baudoin Wash Systems

The show was absolutely stunning and our stand has been 90% full the whole time.  We were in a great location; it has been a wonderful show & has far exceeded our expectations!

Grant Hall

The show had been far better than expected. We’ve seen a number of spontaneous visitors as well as invited clients.  Overall, it was a really good show!

Richard Slater
IPC Gansow

This has been an excellent show, the footfall numbers and quality were very high and we have seen both contractors and end users.

Steve Ashcroft
Trade Hygiene

Having grounded our expectation following late withdrawals, rumours of poor attendance and negativity surrounding the economy all proved to be unnecessary concerns, as the show actually appears to be one of the best in our history!  Winning the Innovation Award for DCS Hybrid, record lead and a diverse array of attendees more than justified our investment and encourages us to improve and expand our plans for exhibiting in 2011.

Mitchell Comer - Managing Director
HTC Floor Systems Limited

The atmosphere at the show has been really good. Our stand has been busier than it was two years ago and the quality of leads were much higher. We have physically taken orders from the stand and they have been processed and despatched before the show was over!

Sean Bradley – MD
Dry Fusion

We are delighted with the outcome of The Cleaning Show 2009. This biennial meeting place is ideal for our clients and visitors to view our latest product additions and a summary of our range of disposable gloves, protective workwear and polythene refuse sacks. This event brings decision makers from across the industry in the UK and further afield. We can already identify this show as a success by the sheer amount of interest generated on the stand. We will now dedicate our time and efforts to answer the visitors query and look forward to The Cleaning Show 2011.

Julian Hirsch - Sales & Marketing Manager
HPC Healthline Ltd

An excellent show all round. Although we felt the volume of visitors was not as high as previous years, due to the economic climate, the quality of visitors was much higher. We generated a high number of genuine business leads which we hope to convert in the coming months.

Sian Sutton – Marketing Manager
Miele Professional

Although Tuesday proved that the interest in water fed poles may be plateauing, the rest of the show lived up to previous year’s high levels of quality enquiries. We are particularly delighted that these are already turning into positive responses both in orders and requests to visit and demonstrate.

Alan Matthews - Marketing Director
Aquafactors Direct Limited

Battery Power Systems Ltd had a fabulous show. The enquiries/business secured at this show has outstripped all other shows that Battery Power Systems Ltd. has attended over the past 20 years.

The Show was better than anticipated! I think the organisers did a great job of consolidating the area to give the show a real vibrant buzz.

The show had been far better than expected. We’ve seen a number of spontaneous visitors as well as invited clients.  Overall, it was a really good show!

Richard Slater

The 2009 show was about the 8th that we have done and probably the smallest - but the quality of the leads far exceeded any previous show. It was a very busy 3 days with good quality companies looking to buy product.

Paul Brownhill – MD
EcoTech (Europe) Ltd

Despite all the doom and gloom the Cleaning Show 2009 proved to be the most successful show ever. It was encouraging to see that the show organisers managed to attract so many new visitors in this difficult economic climate. The show far exceeded our expectations. 

Karl Nilchibar – MD
Amtech UK

We have been very impressed with visitor numbers & have had a fantastic number of high quality leads. We were surprised at the level of consistency & did not expect the third day to be busy!

Despite the doom & gloom within the business community, attendance at the 2009 Cleaning Show was impressive. The quality of visitors who had made the effort to attend was good.

Mike James – MD

Buckeye International Inc found the quality of people visiting the stand to be excellent. With regard to new opportunties for distribution etc - together with the launch of our Symmetry soap system – we had a lot of interest. We received enquiries from Turkey, Sweden, and the Netherlands. C&M marketed the show excellently, and we look forward to 2011.

Dave Pinder - European General Manager
Buckeye International

We’ve had an absolutely fantastic show!  Our stand was busier than it was two years ago and we’ve had both European & English visitors to the stand, giving us potentially new end users & distributors.

Julie Roberts

Really good show, we have had lots of leads and have seen both new & existing customers!

Joy Young – Marketing Mgr

This year's show was another success for Electrolux Laundry Systems.  We were very impressed with the exhibition footfall and there was a genuine interest from delegates.  As always it was a pleasure to greet our customers, both present and future onto the stand.

Kurt Fryer - Sales Manager - National Accounts
Electrolux Laundry Systems

The show was excellent, both well organised and well attended, and we were delighted that in today’s difficult market we were there to support the cleaning industry and were rewarded for it.

David Horsfield – MD
U Group Ltd

As we do every Cleaning show, Innovise had a great response from the visiting delegates this year. By the level of interest and excellent interaction that took place, it is clear to us that the cleaning professional is getting very serious about embracing technology provided it is good value and does what it says on the tin.

Graeme Hughes - Commercial Director
Innovise plc

We have had a fantastic show, we have exceeded our targets and are delighted with the quality of sales leads, the show has been far better than we ever expected!

Richard Johnson
Cleanfix

In the first 45 minutes they had received 32 quality sales leads from organisations large and small throughout the country. The level of interest continued until 4pm when the exhausted stand team had their first chance of a break. By closing time on the third day, the Jangro team left delighted with a total of 426 good quality sales leads.

Joanne Gilliard – Operations Director

We’ve had a good show with quality sales leads. The show has been better than we anticipated.

Trevor Storer – Chairman

The reaction to Soluclean was fantastic.  We could not have asked for a better launch pad. In a word ‘great’ show and we will be back 2011 for sure.

Jon Horton
Ashgrove Products

It has been a Brilliant show - the best show ever!  The visitor quality was exactly right!

Simon Ruck
Mac International

This year the show - although smaller - was one of the best shows for IPC Gansow (UK). We had sent out our own invitations which were targeted to specific end user customers, and enrolled the support from our UK & Ireland dealers to participate in this circulation. We were busy on the stand from the moment the doors were open until the close of the show. The visitor quantity and quality were very good, and we are now following up these enquiries.

Richard Slater - General Manager
IPC Gansow (UK)

We were surprised the show was so well attended. The quality of leads has been very high & overall, we are very pleased.

Lee Norton
Karcher UK

This is without doubt our most successful show in our 29 year history. Throughout the event we emailed our leads through to our regional members so they could contact the enquirers when they returned from the exhibition.

Joanne Gilliard – Operations Director
Jangro

Prior to this, my first Cleaning Show, and recognising the current economic climate, I was apprehensive of the likely attendance. The show was actually very well attended, with plenty of valuable contacts visiting our stand, and a happy and up-beat atmosphere amongst fellow exhibitors.

Mike Bone – Director
British Toilet Association

A great show, one of the best we have done. Expensive but worth every penny!

Richard Sudall – MD
Chemspec Europe Ltd

It proved to be a hugely successful three days. The WoolSafe stand enjoyed a constant stream of visitors from start to finish, with cleaning professionals looking to sign up for their well respected training courses, chemical companies eager to put forward their products for approval testing, and others just looking for advice on carpet care.

Paul Bakker – MD
The Woolsafe Organisation

I was surprised the show was so good given the current economic climate, but we have seen lots of quality visitors.

Bob Pownall

The Cleaning Show 2009 exceeded all our expectations. The stand was busy throughout the three days, and we received many more expressions of interest in association membership than at previous shows. There was some pre-show pessimism but this was dispelled by the quality of the attendees and their willingness to engage with exhibitors and with the industry as a whole.

Andrew Large - Chief Executive
CSSA

There was a great improvement in the quality of the stands, and we really enjoyed being there. There was a variety of customers from as far afield as Japan; we have had an order from Greece and many local customers. At every show we get more and more business. It was a great opportunity to meet up with existing customers, suppliers and meet potential new customers. We Thank C&M for their inviting stand which we used gratefully!

Efi Rosen – MD
Rosemor International Ltd

The Cleaning Show 2009 was an outstanding success for our group. Execution by the show management was flawless and our stand was virtually filled with visitors from bell to bell for three days straight. The show truly exceeded our expectations. Thanks for bringing us together with a wonderful group of prospective clients and dealers. We have already signed up to be part of the next successful Cleaning Show. We wouldn't miss it!

Grant Hall - Sales and Marketing Director

We have been inundated the entire show and haven’t stopped, the visitor numbers and quality have been top!
