Loo of the Year Awards: Latest News

Loo of the Year Awards now enters the home!

Loo of the Year Awards and Lepicol are teaming up to create a new and exciting award to celebrate the awards 25th anniversary.

Loo of the Year Awards is promoted by The British Toilet Association and is run this year in association with Headline Sponsor Lepicol, a probiotic formulation specifically developed to help maintain healthy bowels – naturally

Mike Bone – Managing Director of Loo of the Year Awards says

“The main awards were introduced in 1987, recognising the very best ‘away from home’ toilets. Commercial companies, other organisations and local authorities enter their toilets into the award on an annual basis and recognise the Awards as a proven, cost effective and independent annual assessment of the standard of their toilet provision management and receive proper recognition through our annual grading scheme”.

“A new category will be introduced for the first time in 2012 to enable the general public (consumers) to nominate their own ‘loo’ for an award”

Named the Loo of the Year Awards - Lepicol ‘Home Throne’ Award, members of the public can enter any domestic loo within their home. Judges will be looking at criteria such as decor and maintenance, fixtures and fittings, cleanliness and quirkiness.

“We know that many households in Britain are proud of their loos and have some very quirky habits when it comes to spending time in there.”
Says Lizzie Hardy – Lepicol

“From recent research Lepicol conducted we found that 31% of people use their mobile phones whilst on the toilet and 22% have magazines, papers and books on hand to read. We think it’s time to show the world how much your loo means to you!”

The winner will be invited to the Loo of the Year Awards presentation event to be held on Friday 7th December at the elegant four star St Johns Hotel in Solihull.

Dr Hilary Jones who is working alongside Lepicol in 2012 to help educate on the importance of bowel health will be on hand to award the winner their ‘Home Throne Award’.
