Dear Member,
One of the things I love most about the cleaning industry is the camaraderie—people getting together to share business stories, ideas, and a few laughs.
For the best part of three years though COVID-19 and border closures put a hold on such interaction. That’s why there is a buzz of excitement, knowing that the 2022 ISSA Cleaning & Hygiene Expo—after a couple of pandemic postponements—is just around the corner.
Apart from the upcoming Expo, the ISSA team has also been busy with delivering a range of training, webinars, industry reports and updates, keeping our members in the loop with the latest developments in the cleaning and hygiene sector. This newsletter provides a quick snapshot of our latest offerings and upcoming events.
Kind regards,
Lauren Micallef
ISSA Oceania Manager
