Window Cleaning Page Trade Show 2016 - September 2016 will see the return of the Window Cleaning Page Trade show, this time at a new venue in Northampton. Fed up with visiting advertised window cleaning trade shows & only 5% of the stalls have anything to do with window cleaning? This is the show for you! Mark (Munro) it in your calendar - 10th September! 

The show, which has been held in Dorset for several years, aims to bring together window cleaners and window cleaning companies from across the UK, with many of the sectors biggest names, including Unger, Ionic Systems, GrippaTank and Spin-a-Clean already signed up to attend. And event organiser Mark Munro is hopeful that this year’s show will be the best yet. He said: “Last year’s show was the biggest so far, but 2016 is already shaping up to be bigger with four months left to generate further trade.”

See some videos of the previous show here.

The new venue, Billing Aquadrome, sees the show move from its former home in Dorset to Northampton, but Mark feels that this decision was crucial to the continued growth of the event. He explained: “I had to move the show to the Midlands as I believed that we had outgrown Dorset, and that a more central local will hopefully appeal to more attendees. “We needed a venue more suited to a much larger audience, yet still keeping the family-oriented appeal and we feel that Billing Aquadrome is that place.”

Mark added that he hopes the show will continue to boast the family-friendly atmosphere, and believes that the Aquadrome, which includes a funfair and marina on the Nene River, is the best place to maintain this.

“This year’s show will not only be for the window cleaners but also for the whole family. There will be family entertainment and the show is located within a huge family park, so there’s plenty for the family to do while you play with the grown up toys at the tradeshow area,” he said.

Time is the essence, to get in on the pre-show advertising & to save your space, suppliers are urged to contact Mark now at prices that are a snip compared to other trade shows. Get earthy with real window cleaners, ask what they really want & show off & sell your products. The Window Cleaning Page Trade Show will take place on 10th September.

Untouchable 2016

Add captionTerry "Turbo" Burrows, untouchable in speed window cleaning on the last day of the Manchester cleaning show.

Fastest window washer cleans up competition in just 20 seconds: Nimble Neil Caden has won the title of the fastest window washer after cleaning up the competition in just 20 seconds. The 50-year-old, from Leeds, West Yorks., wiped the floor with the younger lads - and used his skills as a black belt in karate to wax-on, wax-off the competition. 

Sadly he did not beat 20-year recorder holder Essex-based Terry Burrows (pictured top), whose best ever time for cleaning three 1.143m high windows is just 9.14 seconds, at the trade event held in Manchester on Wednesday. Terry says his success is down to a quickfire 16-move sequence that draws on skills he honed as a martial arts instructor and boxer. Sadly, Terry is banned from entering any further competitions to let others stand a chance at winning.

BBC News - Terry 'Turbo' Williams' window washing world record challenged: Terry "Turbo" Burrows, officially the world's fastest window cleaner for more than 20 years, is challenging rivals from around the UK to try to beat his world record time. He set the Guinness World Record of 9.14 seconds in Blackpool in 2009, and is now in Manchester to see if he is still a "glass" above the rest. Contenders have to clean three 1.143m high windows and the sill - crucially, no smears can be left. The event coincides with the 80th anniversary of George Formby's hit When I'm Cleaning Windows.

Buttershaw window cleaner takes prize at The Cleaning Show: A window cleaner is back in Bradford with a big bucket of prizes after a sparkling performance in a national contest. Graham Bower, of Buttershaw Drive, Buttershaw, beat off stiff competition from window cleaners across the country today at The Cleaning Show in Manchester. He was the speediest cleaner there today, but not quite as quick as the record set by world champion, Terry 'Turbo' Burrows from Suffolk. He set the Guinness World Record of 9.14 seconds in Blackpool in 2009. Contenders had to clean three 1.143m high windows and the sill - and could leave no smears.

The event coincides with the 80th anniversary of George Formby's hit When I'm Cleaning Windows. "I came first in the competition but didn't quite catch up with Terry. I was about a second out," he said. Even though Mr Bower's time was 12.01 seconds he did get a few penalty points for soap streaks. "Even with the penalties I was still on top. It was well worth having a go. Terry's quick but not quite as quick as he used to be - even he couldn't match his world record," he added. Mr Bower, 35, started cleaning windows at the age of 12 and now runs his own business. He won a Kindle Fire tablet and a big bucket full of beer. "I'm going to keep practising my speeds. Who knows I might be back for another go at the world record next year," he said.

Unveiling The Wagtail Precision Glide

New Precision Glide Squeegee from Wagtail.

The WCP (Window Cleaning Page) Show in Dorset organised by Mark Munro was attended by window cleaning professionals across the globe on Saturday & has become the biggest Window Cleaning Show in the UK. Willie Erken from Australia, of Wagtail Tools was there to unveil the new "Precision Glide" squeegee.

Wagtail At The Dorset Window Cleaning Show

Willie Erken, Director of Wagtail Pivotal Tools shows off his game changer at the WCP window cleaning show.

Wagtail at the Dorset Window Cleaning Show: Wagtail pivotal tools were a huge draw at the WCP window cleaning trade & van show organised by Mark Munro in Bradstock Burton in Dorset. Willie Erken showed how his new waterfed pole pivoting brush & waterfed pole swivelling pad aid in cleaning windows & also his new pole that extends from the bottom instead of the top. Some more lightweight poles are shown as well as his compound angle that mimics the wrist & his older angle adapter that could also fit at the other end of the pole for a double whammy action.

On the day, Wagtail drew quite an audience with the window cleaning public, many of who had only heard of Wagtail but not seen the tools in action. Willie came all the way from Australia to feature not only his popular range of squeegees but also many adaptations which are able to wet the window as well as clean at the same time (one-pass), but also his popular range of flippers. The videos below are best seen on youtube for full HD quality. Lee Burbidge from Window Cleaning Magazine UK were also there to take in the event & we await with baited breath the high quality film once it's edited.

The "Pied Wagtail" was also seen flying around the event, a local migrating bird that 'just' happened to be there at the same time as his namesake from Australia. Willie even brought his own brand of wine to the event to celebrate the occasion (seen above)... which kept the riff-raff away!

The show was a credit to Mark Munro who put on an amazing show out of his own pocket. Many big names showed up for the event, photos to come! Even Willies brother - Peter, of Window Cleaning World, made it over to network with other window cleaners on the day.

Some attendees were lucky to pick up the night action squeegee.

Window Cleaning Has A New Star

Mark Munro (right) receives the 50 year Unger squeegee from Matt Hodgkins, sales & marketing Unger.

Window Cleaning has a new star in the shape of Mark Munro (pictured) who managed to pull industry leaders from the four corners of the globe. All converging to arrive in a little known caravan park in Burton Bradstock, Dorset. Mark, who has two very popular facebook pages (here & here) for window cleaners created something out of nothing, which all started when he was looking for a a supplier to come down to give a demo' so he could try out a pole. Figures coming in, showed that he out classed other popular window conventions in numbers alone & also managed to raise quite a big cheque for local charity. A big thank you to Mark for putting on a great show, with a lot of money coming out of his own pocket - he's a champion geezer!

Questions & Answers From Mark Munro, organiser of the festival:

Do you have a window cleaning business that you operate locally? 
I operate a small window cleaning round based in Burton Bradstock and covering The Bride Valley area.

So what prompted you start your own window cleaning show?
I must be mad, I wanted to buy a new WFP and wasn't too sure which one to get. I asked a few suppliers if they would come to Dorset to do a little road show. I was going to ask a few people to come along to make it worth while and it all started from there.

Why did you think it would work in Dorset of all places? 
The venue is in a beautiful area with countryside and coastal views and is part of the Jurassic coast. As the venue is set in a holiday park, this is the latest date that the roadshow could be held before the holiday season really begins.

How did you manage suppliers & equipment manufacturers to come down or even take you seriously?
My Facebook page helped a lot in respect of equipment suppliers and manufacturers. Once a few had expressed an interest I spent a lot of time on the phone (over ten months) talking to other exhibitors and fortunately now have some great ones on board. I've got great suppliers and by the sounds of it great people turning up too.

What part of the organisation of the whole caboodle has given you the most nightmares? 
Getting past the first stage of contact has probably been the most difficult. Making calls to find the right person has sometimes been difficult.

A show, a beach & live sounds – do you think it could be any better? 
If the weather is good then it could be amazing. There is a lot to do for the weekend and I wanted to make it more than just a standard walk around show.

How are you getting round the problem of raising & trying out wfp’s? 
There will be a tower for WFP's.

What’s the accommodation nearby? How are people getting there? 
There is plenty of accommodation locally as Burton Bradstock is a holiday resort. There is an alcohol, food and music licence. Hopefully Dorset is perfectly positioned for Devon, Hampshire and Somerset and is only a couple of hours away from London.

Is it true this is UFO country? Have you seen any strange lights yourself?
There are some strange sightings in Burton Bradstock, I've heard Adrian Vincent will be turning up (see below).

Dorset has some strange goings on in the Bride Valley.

Australian Window Cleaners Get Eyeful

Sophie Monk flashes Australian window cleaners who get an eyeful in a 2DayFM stunt.

Yesterday she posed as a parking inspector to give out cash to unsuspecting drivers. Today, she's flashing window cleaners. Sophie Monk's certainly doing everything she can to lift the ratings over at 2DayFM's breakfast show. A day after the first radio ratings survey for 2014 revealed that the new-look 2DayFM breakfast team had shed more than half its listeners as Kyle and Jackie O fans followed them over to KIIS FM, it seems Monk's happy to flash a bit of flesh to drum up interest in the show.

In a video released today on the 2DayFM YouTube channel, Monk is shown goofing around in the office with co-host Merrick Watts - before giving a couple of window cleaners a bit of a show. Monk has now let us in on what she was up to, blaming her stunt on 'office cabin fever'. Hey lady, we've all been there. "To be honest I was just playing with my gay BFF, who is the cameraman in the office. I had the ugliest bra on, so it wasn't even sexy for the window cleaners."

)

Sophie Monk has flashed her breasts to unsuspecting window cleaners in a bid to attract listeners to their 2Day FM breakfast show. With their ratings taking a big dive and former DJs Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O getting the lion share, the actress and her fellow DJs have to take extreme measures to lure listeners back. On Wednesday, Monk, 34, proved that she was willing to do whatever it takes to get listeners to listen to their show. In a video posted on YouTube, Sophie is seen wearing a helmet while playing ball with co-host Merrick Watts in an office building. After a while, though, she has transferred her attention to the window cleaners outside, saying she would scare them off. “I can see up your pants,” she shouted to one of the cleaners.

But standing behind the window and with a helmet on, the cleaner didn’t seem to hear her. Unfazed, she tried again by twerking for them, and upped the stakes by baring her breasts. She repeated the strip show after taking off her helmet, and that’s when she finally got a thumbs up from one of the cleaners. As entertaining as her flesh exposure was, it wasn’t enough to boost their ratings. Radio ratings figures show that Sandilands and Jackie O took 9.3% of the breakfast market share, equal WSFM’s “Jonesy & Amanda in the Morning.” Her show with Watts, Jules Lund, and Mel B, meanwhile, dropped to 3.8%. Monk and her co-presenters took over the show in January after the titular DJs of the “Kyle and Jackie O” show transferred to Australian Radio Network’s KIIS 1065 FM.

Frosted glass stopped window cleaners peeping.

Coronation Street: Female changing room window frosted over to stop Peeping-Toms! - The dressing room of some of Coronation Street’s hottest female cast members has been frosted over to prevent Peeping Toms from getting a cheap thrill! Michelle Keegan who plays Tina McIntyre, Brooke Vincent who plays Sophie Webster, Georgia May Foote who plays Katy Armstrong and Catherine Tyldesley who plays Eva Price were all thrilled to be given the only dressing room with a window at the shows new Media City UK, Salford Quay set when they all moved there earlier this year.

However, it would seem that maintenance men were particularly OCD when it came to keeping the window clean, as they have been reported by the girls as constantly washing it! This prompted bosses at the show to have the pane of glass, which provides light (and pretty good views) from floor to ceiling, frosted like a bathroom window to keep the girls dignity intact. Still, if these window cleaners are as dedicated and thorough as this report suggests, we don’t think it will be long till they have managed to even out the frosting with their tireless scrubbing.
