We are always listening to our customers’ feedback and working to create solutions that address and revolutionise how they clean. With this in mind, we are pleased to introduce our new range of floor cleaning machines that is designed to help clean floors more effectively, more easily, and most important, more sustainably – regardless of the environment or surface type.
Diving into 2024
Happy New Year and welcome to our first blog of 2024! We are so excited for what’s to come – here’s just a flavour of what’s in store this year.
Celebrating awards!
We are proud to announce that we were highly commended for our Outstanding Customer Service at the Cleaning Excellence Awards last month! What’s more, we are delighted to be shortlisted for FOUR further industry accolades. Both our ntrl collection and innovative e-learning platform, the LMS are finalists in the Tomorrow’s Cleaning and the Tomorrow’s FM 2024 Awards! Voting is open for Tomorrow’s FM, so if you’d like to show your support, please click on the link.
A key date in our calendar
For the very first time, we’ll be attending Meet The Buyer. We’re looking forward to coming together with facility managers and suppliers; it’s a great opportunity to network and meet new people too – so make sure you come and say hello if you’re attending.
Growing sustainability
We’ll be strengthening our commitment to sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint by working towards our fourth year of Planet Mark accreditation. This is a sustainability certification that verifies and measures carbon and social value data to reduce emissions and achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Watch out for news of our initiatives and launches which we hope will help create a cleaner, safer, and healthier world.
Learning and development
Our award-winning Learning Management Solution (LMS) has helped train thousands of professional cleaning staff to perform their duties to a high standard, without risking their health (or that of others). We are constantly enhancing it, ensuring it continues to be
relevant, high quality and as user-friendly as possible. Watch this space for a new module coming soon!

2023 – that’s a wrap!
I am always surprised at how quickly December seems to come around – but I truly love this time of year. It’s not only a season for joy, merriment, and high spirits. For me, it’s a time to reflect on what’s happened over the previous year and express my gratitude to those who have contributed to our successes – our friends, families, colleagues, and customers. We couldn’t do it without you.
So, as we gear up for 2024, let’s take a quick look back over the last 12 months. For us, 2023 has been synonymous with our commitment to sustainability. It’s embedded within everything we do. Every decision we make is considered with the environment in mind from a sustainable angle and, this year, I think we have demonstrated this, from our leafy green stand at The Cleaning Show, right through to the eco-friendly collection of Tom Smith Christmas Crackers!
Our 2023 highlights include:
• Celebrating our third consecutive year of being Planet Mark certified – an amazing achievement, which demonstrates our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint at head office.
• The launch of Jangrow – our exciting and innovative tree planting campaign.
• The introduction of Jangro Circular, a scheme in which products, such as used mop buckets, can be recycled by connecting the end user and the recycling and manufacturing companies in our supply chain.
• Our RRR (Return, Reuse, Recycle) boxes. Designed to use less ink consumption when printing designs on the box, and when no longer required, they can be returned by customers to their local distributor, repurposed and at the end of their life, recycled into something new.
• The unveiling of Cleaning & Hygiene Supplies Catalogue 2023/24 and Christmas Supplies Catalogue 2023 – both bursting with more high quality, effective, and sustainable products and supplies than ever before! And all at the consistent, competitive prices that we are known and trusted for too.
• The launch of our Enviro Foam Hand Wash Sachets. Housed in clever soluble sachets, these products are zero waste – minimising the landfill burden and avoiding the use of plastic.
• The introduction of our new range of floor cleaning machines. Durable, reliable, and versatile – and the components of each machine are made with recycled plastic too.
This is just a snippet of what’s been happening at Jangro. There’s much more to come in 2024 – so watch this space!
In the meantime, I wish you all the very best season’s greetings and a happy, prosperous New Year.

Wish us luck at the Cleaning Excellence Awards!
We are thrilled to be attending The Cleaning Excellence Conference & Awards on Wednesday 6th December. This year, we are not only a proud sponsor, but are also shortlisted for three awards ourselves. We’d absolutely love to bring home a trophy (or three!) – so keep everything crossed for us!
We are up for Outstanding Customer Service – an award, which acknowledges a cleaning service provider that consistently delivers outstanding customer care, going above and beyond to meet the needs and expectations of their clients. We are delighted to have been
recognised in this category, as it is integral to our company values and forms part of our DNA. We strive to provide outstanding service without fail every day.
We are also honoured to be a finalist for the Outstanding Achievement in Infection Prevention and Control Award – an accolade that celebrates outstanding contributions to public health and safety through effective infection prevention measures and protocols.
Third up, we are shortlisted for the Sustainable Company of the Year. Regular readers of our blog will know that we are passionate about protecting the planet. Every decision we make is considered from a sustainable angle, and how we can help our customers make more
responsible decisions, as well as minimise our own impact, so we’re so excited to have been recognised in this category.
Once again, we will be championing the people within the industry – without whom services would grind to a halt. That’s why we are so proud to sponsor the Cleaning Operative of the Year Award. Everyone in our sector knows that it really is the people within it, who make the greatest contribution. They keep everything running and are essential for success. This award recognises an exceptional individual, who has demonstrated outstanding dedication, professionalism, and exemplary service as a cleaning operative. It celebrates individuals
who consistently go above and beyond in their role, delivering outstanding cleaning standards, and making a positive impact in their workplace and community – something that mirrors our own ethos at Jangro.
Good luck to all finalists – we look forward to an inspiring evening of sharing success stories and celebrating achievements. For more information about Jangro, visit www.jangro.net.
