BCC PAYS TRIBUTE TO ONE OF ITS ORIGINAL FOUNDERS

The British Cleaning Council has paid tribute to one of its co-founders who died earlier this year, aged 82.

Terry King and two industry colleagues set up the BCC in 1982 after hearing the Master of the Worshipful Company of Environmental Cleaners (WCEC) tell an audience during a speech that he felt all sectors of the UK cleaning industry should amalgamate to advance their common interests.

The WCEC, the Industrial Cleaning Machine Manufacturers’ Association (ICMMA), the Janitorial Supply Association (JANSA), the British Association for Chemical Specialities (BACS), the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc), the Federation of Window Cleaners (FWC) and the National Carpet Cleaners Association (NCCA) became founder members of the BCC.
