ISSA executive director, John Garfinkel, recently flew in from the US to present Jangro operations director Jo Gilliard with the company’s plaque and certificate of membership. He was accompanied for the ceremony by Keith Baker, ISSA’s director of European, Middle East & African services, and Mark Armitage, its director of exhibitions, Europe.

“We are delighted to welcome Jangro as the first UK distributor group member to join the worldwide cleaning industry association that is the ISSA today,” said John Garfinkel. “This is a milestone for both our organisations and we look forward to supporting Jangro and its ambitions for the future as we work to fulfil our goal of changing the way the world views cleaning.”

Jo Gilliard said: “Joining the ISSA offers us an outstanding opportunity to replicate and grow our success by forming alliances with like-minded janitorial groups in continental Europe. Our national accounts manager, Steve Courtney, and I can now leverage our ISSA membership to recruit both new suppliers and new distributor members for Jangro in Europe.”
