Celebrating at the Golden Service Awards
Monday, October 26th, 2015
Our industry celebrated the Kimberley Clark professional Golden Service Awards on Friday 23 October, at The Hilton, Park Lane. The awards, dubbed ‘The Oscars of the Cleaning Industry, are an important means of recognising and rewarding the best performance across several categories.
Cleaning operatives are not always acknowledged as the bedrock of what we do, so it was wonderful to see the spontaneous standing ovation for Cleaning Operative of the Year, Marian Pirgaru from DerryCourt Cleaning Services.
This year I was delighted to be a judging partner, with specific judging responsibilities in the Healthy Work category, an area which continues to develop in importance. I am eagerly anticipating the next Golden Services Awards in 2017 – keep a look out for details and the opening of nominations.

A celebration of ten fantastic years
Monday, April 7th, 2014
When I was reminded that February 2014 marked ten years of Lynn Webster Consultants Ltd I was amazed. It certainly hasn’t felt like ten years, it seems to have passed in a flash. I can remember every little detail of setting up the business and I can remember all the clients I have worked with in that time too! That could be because I have carried on working with quite a few of them over the years. Some of those clients have moved on in their careers and have kindly taken me with them. Others have introduced me new clients and brought me into new networks and associations. It’s down to this type of support that the business has grown.
I have a lot to be grateful for. I have terrific clients and many supportive colleagues and friends. I knew that celebrating these ten years was a must, and wanted to find the ideal way to say a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to all the people who’ve helped and supported me along the way. At a networking event I was told about Goddards in York, this former home of the famous Terry family is a National Trust property, right next to York race course. When I found out that I could host an event, complete with afternoon cream tea, in Goddards’ lovely Drawing Room, I knew I’d found a perfect way to celebrate.
We were able to roam around the house and stroll through the gardens – the sun shone on us too! The afternoon tea was wonderful and I was pleased to see so many people who’ve played such an important part in LWC Ltd’s successful decade.
Everyone got a Terry’s chocolate orange as a small memento of the afternoon (though they probably didn’t last long!) and I know everyone enjoyed the fabulous cakes and scones.
To those clients, colleagues and friends who couldn’t join me I would like to say ‘thank you’ to each and every one of you and I hope you can join me over the next ten years! Any ideas where we can celebrate in 2024?
