Diversification Hub Category Focus: Cleaning & Hygiene

BOSS has published a new Cleaning & Hygiene category focus within the Diversification Hub, developed with input from member companies to support dealers exploring opportunities beyond traditional workplace supplies.

The new category focus brings together practical guidance, market insight and member-led expertise to help dealers better understand the Cleaning & Hygiene market, identify potential customer opportunities and build confidence in sales conversations.

This latest focus has been supported by contributions from BOSS member companies so far including Fellowes, Kimberly-Clark Professional, Metsa Tissue, Reckitt, SC Johnson Professional and The Cheeky Panda.
