Leading essential cleaning company teams up with UK’s premier motorsport series

Nilco – the professionals’ choice for essential cleaning products and chemicals – has become the British Touring Car Championship’s Official Sanitising Partner.

Following the global outbreak of COVID-19 and subsequent suspension of all elite sport in the UK, BTCC Organiser TOCA has been working tirelessly to ensure that the series’ scheduled return is achieved in the safest way possible, with the health and safety of all involved being paramount.

Industry leader Nilco produces a wide range of dry-touch sanitising and bacteria control products that can be used both as an airborne room spray and on all hard surfaces, as well as sanitising products for personal use.

The company will supply and manage a number of specialist products for TOCA, including hand-sanitising stations throughout various working areas, dry-touch sprays, anti-bacterial cleaners and full product refills as required.

Furthermore, Nilco will supply products for use in all Official TOCA vehicles with the Official Medical Cars, Safety Cars and other essential vehicles being sanitised regularly throughout each day of each race weekend.

Nilco Professional Bacterial and Virus Control products are specially formulated for professional environments where stringent regulations are paramount and performance is essential. 

The 2020 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship is scheduled to commence at Donington Park on 1/2 August.

Alan Gow, BTCC Chief Executive, said: “We are living in unprecedented times as everyone throughout the world continues to work through the challenges that COVID-19 has posed. 

“I have always stipulated that the correct procedures and protocols must be in place, in order to provide a safe environment for our return to racing, and I am pleased to welcome Nilco on-board as part of that process.

“This is just one aspect of the myriad protocols being finalised, but one that has highlighted many short and long-term benefits for our Health and Safety procedures. Nilco has proven performance and professionalism and we look forward to working with them.”

Peter Schofield, Tetrosyl Group Chairman, said: “I am delighted that Nilco Professional Bacterial and Virus Control product is the Official Sanitising Partner for the BTCC. 

“In motor racing, safety is of the utmost importance, as is the safety and health of all the drivers, medical staff, volunteers and fans. In these uncertain times you need a product you can rely on to help control the spread of bacteria and viruses. This is a fantastic opportunity for Nilco, I am looking forward to a very successful relationship.”
