• Rising star award

Entries will close at the end of April and the finalists will be revealed in July 2024. Winners will be announced at the glittering awards ceremony and gala dinner, which will take place on Thursday 3^rd October in Lisbon, Portugal.

Michelle Marshall, editor of European Cleaning Journal and founder of the awards, said: “After the huge success of our event in Dublin last year, we are delighted to be bringing the European Cleaning & Hygiene Awards to Lisbon in 2024.
