Join CSSA
As the leading trade association for the cleaning and support services industry we represent both large and small companies - their total revenues accrue to approximately £2.5 billion per annum – in excess of 70% of the total revenues for our sector.
The Board of Directors are elected every year and come from a cross section of the membership. Additionally, we have specific working groups dealing with health and safety issues and cleaning in the healthcare sector.
The CSSA focuses on the delivery of three particular services to its members:
- Lobbying and Government relations
- PR and promotion of a professional industry
- Direct membership services
- The CSSA is in regular communication with Government departments such as BERR, the HSE, the Home Office and the Department of Health and they look to us to respond to consultations on behalf of the industry. Recently we have been instrumental in raising the issue of hospital cleaning, and pressurising the Government to increase funding in this vital area.
- The Low Pay Commission also seeks input from us. We gave evidence to the Commission last year, which contributed to a moderation in the rate of increase of the National Minimum Wage.
- The CSSA, in collaboration with Croner, offer a Business Helpline which is available free of charge to members. The Helpline offers advice on Employment Law, Payroll, Tax, VAT, Health and Safety and commercial legal matters. Croner also run a series of membership seminars on key business issues throughout the year.
