Battersea-based Delphis Eco, the ecological cleaning products company, has been chosen by UK Trade and Industry (UKTI) as Britain’s leading ecological brand in their latest campaign. It is the “Green Pillar” in the “GREAT Britain” campaign to promote British products in 144 countries, alongside such household names as Aston Martin, Virgin, and Burberry. They will be showcasing British excellence globally.

CEO Mark Jankovich says, “We are really excited at this will open up an international market. We are keen to see our products helping companies worldwide to be more sustainable.”

delphisDelphis Eco was set up seven years ago by Mark Jankovich to manufacture ecological cleaning products, and was the first UK company to receive an EU Ecolabel accreditation.   It was also the first UK company to be awarded ‘Best Company’ by the European Commission, which recognised the brand for bringing particle innovation to the sustainability sector. With a focus on manufacturing the highest quality cleaning products that also have an independent eco accreditation, the company is committed to providing quality and sustainable cleaning products without an ‘eco’ price premium. As part of the ‘GREAT Britain’ campaign, it hopes to encourage businesses to be more sustainable and select eco-accredited cleaning products.

Mark Jankovich continues, “Part of our mission is to educate people and businesses to be more sustainable. It doesn’t cost any more and this way you can reduce your company’s environmental footprint.”

Being chosen to represent Britain abroad is a big honour for any company and it is very pleasing that this should go to one of Wandsworth Chamber of Commerce’s Members.

Steve Pinto, CEO of Wandsworth Chamber of Commerce says, ” Delphis Eco have been proud Chamber members for a number of years and first came to prominence about 4 years ago when the Chamber assisted their entry in to the Supply Nine Elms initiatives aimed at getting local businesses in to the suply chain of larger developments. Now used by a number of the Vauxhall Nine Elms developement companies they are worthy winners of numerous Awards and a shining example of a local business achieving Global status in a very competitive field.”

London’s Asda Clapham Junction store has held Minions language lessons using a motion activated themed checkout, complete with Minion themed bananas.

To celebrate the launch of the new Minions movie, the store created the checkout, which surprised shoppers by shouting out memorable Minion sounds as they passed through.

Colleagues at the store then repeated the phrases, saving their best for when any Minion-themed BANANAS were purchased (pictured above).

Shoppers’ reactions to the checkout were filmed with the best efforts shared on social media.

Clapham Junction store manager, Glenn Ries, said: “We know our customers love Minions but to truly be despicable you need to speak the language, that’s why we created our checkout to help people understand the difference between their Bob, and their bananas.

Jubilee footbridge

As you may be aware there is some really positive progress being made with regard to commencement of the construction of the bridge. There are exciting possibilities related to the Barratt proposal on the Lombard Road site and LB Wandsworth are now committed to delivery and have identified potential sources of funding.

This is great news and means that the bridge is close to becoming reality. The project would still massively benefit from a benefactor, a champion, to help push it over the line financially and this is where we need your help. We are not asking for your money – we want your vote. In fact we want your vote, yours family’s vote, your friends and your work colleagues votes  – we are going to need hundreds of votes.

We have a chance to pitch the project to Richard Branson so It would be great if you saw fit to vote, and share the below link, it must be done by May 4th so please don’t put it off – it will take only 30 seconds:
