At the recent annual conference of the Society of Hospital Laundry & Linen Service Managers held in Dudley our own Steve Salt was elected onto the National Executive Committee of the Society.
As a company, AWB was founded prior to the Society and Steve is the first person from AWB to be elected onto the committee. We’re very proud of Steve and his achievement, and we’re excited to have the opportunity for our company to be represented at the ‘top table’ of the industry.

- To promote (and provide?) training in our sector
- To inform members of new and novel products and services via networking, forums and the website.
