• The CHSA Launches The Chairman’s Lunch

16 September 2026

An opportunity to connect, be inspired and do business at one of the most prestigious sporting venues in the world

The Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers Association is delighted to introduce its Chairman’s Lunch.

Taking place at Lord’s Cricket Ground on Thursday 29 October, this exclusive event will deliver real value, bringing together manufacturers and distributors of cleaning and hygiene products and organisations from across the facilities management sector.  It offers a unique opportunity to build strategic relationships, exchange ideas and explore new business opportunities in one of the world’s most iconic sporting venues.

Attendees will also receive valuable market intelligence. Liz Kentish, co-founder of Kentish and Co will deliver the keynote address titled What Buyers Wish Suppliers Knew – the view from the other side of the FM buying table.

With experience on both sides of the client–supplier relationship, Liz will explore what those buying, specifying and using cleaning and hygiene products really want from their suppliers. Her session will examine what value means beyond price, what makes a supplier easy to work with and trusted, where innovation genuinely adds value, and what buyers now expect around sustainability, evidence and transparency.

Nick Thompson, Chairman of the CHSA, explained: “The purpose of the CHSA is to create value for members. In an extremely competitive sector, we need to help differentiate them from their competition and support their business growth. Strategic networking, which offers the chance to build new relationships and deepen existing ones, and gather valuable market intelligence, is at the heart of this approach. Our inaugural Chairman’s lunch brings this approach to life in an inspiring venue that will make the lunch a truly memorable experience.”

For those who wish, their day will begin with a behind-the-scenes tour of Lord’s Cricket Ground. Guests on the tour will be able to step inside the iconic and exclusive areas of the Ground including the Long Room, the England Dressing Room, the Media Centre and the MCC Museum.

The tour will be followed by the keynote address and then a three-course lunch.

Date: Thursday 29 October
Time: 10am – 4pm
Venue: Lord’s Cricket Ground
Tickets: £165 per person

The event is sponsored by Bunzl Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers, Cromwell Polythene, Greyland, Harrisons Wipes and SC Johnson.
