Our Visit to the Independent Washroom Suppliers Association (IWSA)

Raising Standards Together: Our Visit to the Independent Washroom Suppliers Association (IWSA)

Charles and I were delighted to be invited to attend the Independent Washroom Suppliers Association (IWSA) conference this week, an excellent opportunity to connect with members of the washroom supply industry and share insights about the work we do through the Loo of the Year Awards.

We were invited to give a presentation introducing the Awards, explaining how they have evolved over the years, and how they continue to play a vital role in raising awareness, education, and standards across all away-from-home washrooms.

From workplaces and schools to restaurants, visitor attractions, and public facilities, our mission remains the same — to encourage better washroom provision for everyone. A good washroom experience isn’t just about cleanliness or design; it’s about dignity, accessibility, and respect for the people who use and maintain these spaces every day.

During our presentation, we also shared an exciting announcement:
A brand-new award category for washroom suppliers will be launched at the Loo of the Year Awards Event in January 2026.

Washroom suppliers play such an essential role in shaping the overall washroom experience, yet they often go unrecognised. This new award will shine a light on their contribution and celebrate those who innovate, support, and uphold high standards across the industry.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the IWSA for their warm hospitality and for including us in such a valuable event. It was a pleasure to meet so many people who share our passion for washroom excellence and to make some fantastic new connections that we look forward to developing further.

Together, by sharing knowledge and recognising achievement, we can continue to drive improvements and ensure that washrooms everywhere in every sector  meet the high standards that everyone deserves.
