Search for 2006 Loo of the Year launched

The search for the 2006 Loo of the Year has been launched in the UK and Ireland.

Now in its 20th year, the competition is promoted by the British Toilet Association and supported by national tourism bodies in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Previous hospitality winners include pub chain JD Wetherspoon as well as fast food chain McDonald’s.

Each entry will receive an inspection visit and entries of a certain standard gain a certificate to showcase their achievements.

Last year’s competition attracted more than 1,000 entries. To nominate this time around, call the awards hotline on: 01962 850277 or e-mail nominations@loo.co.uk.
