CleanScene Show Successful In Sydney
CleanScene: The National Cleaning &
Hygiene Expo, ran last week in Sydney, to massive support from the nation’s cleaning
industry.
“CleanScene was superb, it provided an
opportunity for professional cleaners and cleaning-intensive industries to meet
a range of suppliers simultaneously and to choose from between them the best
product for a plethora of cleaning needs,” said Marie Kinsella from the
Organiser, Australian Exhibitions & Conferences Pty Ltd.
Dedicated CleanScene visitors numbered nearly 1,350,
while a further 3,437 attended this inaugural cleaning event from the
co-located Safety and Materials Handling shows. Visitors represented a broad range of industries, such as
aged care, food/beverage, hospitality, healthcare, government, manufacturing,
property/facilities management and waste management.
Andy McCallum from Frontline Cleaning Supplies a
visitor from New Zealand was happy with the event “..as a cleaning supply house
looking for the latest innovations in the cleaning industry, we found
CleanScene to be very interesting and provided challenging innovations, sure to
be recognised as best practice in the future.”
It was not just visitors who were
impressed. Exhibitors also thought
that CleanScene was exceptional, Murray MacDonald of Duplex Cleaning Machines mentioned that the Safety
Show and the Materials Handling Show alongside CleanScene provided a good visitor
mix. “In some industries the OHS
person is also responsible for cleaning, so these co-locations work
exceptionally well,” he explained.
Stephen Waddingham of Edgar Edmonson
was similarly impressed “The range and breadth of visitors far surpasses my
expectations, the calibre is absolutely excellent” he said.
Alongside the show was the National Cleaning
Suppliers Association (NCSA) seminar programme, annual gala dinner and the
association also presented a series of awards during the show such as
Innovative Product Award won by Australian Soda Blasting Supplies, Best Large
Stand won by Tennants, Best Small Stand won by Ionic Systems.
The seminar programme in particular
proved to be complimentary, providing an important learning element to the
event contributing valuable professional development points to all attendees.
Of CleanScene, the NCSA’s President
Gerry Goldberg was also happy “it emulates the best in industry sponsored
national trade shows” he said. Of
the co-location he stated “CleanScene became part of a really substantial,
established show and the buzz, the activity, the noise level filled the air and
created a get-up-and-go atmosphere.
He continued to state that from the perspective of
NCSA members there is no doubt that CleanScene has transformed the exhibiting
members from long-held doubts about the value of trade shows to firm believers
that CleanScene is here to stay and will, in the future, be immeasurably
beneficial to exhibitors and the cleaning industry.
