Welcome to the UKHA - UK Housekeepers Association

Welcome to the UKHA

The UK Housekeepers Association (UKHA) has become the largest Housekeepers Association in Europe, serving as a prominent platform for sharing knowledge, fostering development, and providing support within the industry. Today, the UKHA holds national recognition as an association. While our original objectives remain our passion and steadfast, we have adapted to contemporary needs. Additionally, we have expanded our scope to assist, develop, and profile Executive Housekeepers and Managers but also Assistants, Deputies, Linen porters and Rooms Attendants, from any cleaning sector (the future of Housekeeping). As a leading association representing professionals in the hotel and catering sectors, we stand out as the sole organisation in the United Kingdom dedicated to representing Housekeeping and Accommodation Management.
 
The management of Housekeeping and Accommodation holds a pivotal position in any establishment, overseeing the largest physical space within the building, coordinating diverse teams, managing contracts, and often handling substantial budgets. We collaborate closely with counterparts in various Housekeeping Associations in Europe, the USA, and Australia.

We are a professional body of people and have the following aims and objectives:

  • To promote the professional status of Housekeeping
  • To promote Housekeeping as a career
  • To provide a forum for the exchange of information, ideas and keeping up with changing needs
  • Project a powerful  presence

What is the Association?
