26 August 2025

Four students will receive £6,000 over their university careers thanks to the Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers Association’s 2025 Bursary.

The students are all children or grandchildren of Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers Association’s (CHSA) members, and were judged on need, worthiness, endeavour, and overall performance.   

Ruby Burgess, Thomas Baker, Lottie Harrison and Rose Lewis were selected as the recipients of the bursary after a panel interview chaired by David Garcia, Vice President and Treasurer of the CHSA.

Ruby Burgess, whose father works at Diversey UK, is heading to Lancaster University to study for a  BSc in Geography. Thomas Baker, whose father works at CJS Portsmouth, intends to study a BSc in Plant Science at Cornwall College University Centre at the Eden Project. Lottie Harrison, whose grandfather works at Evans Vanodine, is to study Psychology with Counselling at Manchester Metropolitan University. Rose Lewis is to study a BA in Animation Production at the Arts University Bournemouth. Her father works at Karcher.

The annual bursary has been running since 2016 (in its current form) and has helped 25 young people so far.

David Garcia said, “The Bursary is incredibly important to the CHSA. We are very proud of the opportunity to give something back in such a tangible way. It is a delight to receive updates from the successful applicants, telling us how they are getting on and their plans and aspirations for the future.

“Meeting these talented young people is always a pleasure but making the final decision is a challenge. The calibre this year was particularly high, making it harder than ever to reach the final decision. We debate and discuss before settling on the final winners, considering their commitment, determination, capability and, finally, the special x-factor. I wish we could award the bursary to them all.   We very much hope the final four, and all the applicants, enjoy their time and university.”
