The Mission

The Clean Start Initiative mission is simple:

To change people's perceptions of the cleaning industry.

​

We want to move away from the basic 'mop and bucket' connotations and offer a truthful and clear insight into the roles and career opportunities available in this global industry so that fresh talent and the next generation of leaders view this industry as the right career path.

The cleaning, hygiene and waste sector is worth over £71 billion to the UK economy. Over 1.5 million people - approximately 5% of the UK workforce - are employed in the industry. The sector is vital to public health and maintaining clean, safe and hygienic environments.

​

Irrespective of this many still perceive jobs in the industry to be low-skilled, involving nothing more than moving around a facility with a mop and bucket in hand. 

 

This simply isn’t true.​

​

​From robotic cleaning machines and artificial intelligence, to sustainable chemicals and environmental innovation the cleaning industry is full of endless job and career opportunities. For more information to develop your career in the industry visit the UK Cleaning Career Development Zone.
