After initially founding a company dedicated to organising personal and corporate celebrations, Becky discovered her niche in the market of High Standard Luxury Mobile Toilets. Becky and her husband Charles went on to establish A Plush Flush, a Luxury Mobile Toilet Company, that was nominated and received a high grade from the Loo of the Year Awards. Becky shares, “I was and still am very passionate about toilets being of a high standard and our mobile toilets have been achieving the highest grades for over 19 years now. In 2020, I was asked to train and become an Inspector for The Loo Of The Year Awards, as my knowledge of the awards and the judging criteria was very much embedded after entering for so many years. Then in 2021, the present owner and Managing Director announced he wished to retire and asked if I would like to take over both.” As Managing Director, Becky understands the importance of hard work and enjoys being a part of the team. She ensures that every member is trained and equipped with the knowledge and tools they require to perform their jobs safely and efficiently. By encouraging communication within the team through regular meetings and training events, Becky can ensure that the team achieves its collective goals.
