AMC Celebrate IWD 2026 - Balance the scale      

International Women’s Day 2026 “Balance the Scales”

Message from Kristie Coade, CEO at AMC Commercial Cleaning

    As we approach International Women’s Day 2026, I want to thank everyone at AMC Commercial Cleaning for all you bring to our team. For more than 35 years, fairness and respect have been the foundation of our success. These values enable our people to thrive and support one another every day. This year’s theme, “Balance the Scales,” resonates deeply with us. At AMC, we see the strength that diverse voices bring, especially the women in leadership who guide, support, and inspire our teams. Their commitment helps ensure that everyone feels heard and valued, creating a workplace where collaboration and growth can flourish. I am proud to be able to say that for us, “Balance the Scales” is more than a theme. It reflects how we operate each day. Our female leaders lead with integrity, create space for all voices, listen without bias, and treat everyone with respect. These actions shape a stronger and more supportive workplace, demonstrating how effective leadership can uplift and empower others. At AMC, we believe that prioritising people is the key to long‑term success. This approach creates a culture where everyone feels valued and respected. For our customers, it means partnering with teams who take pride in their work and who understand the importance of care, consistency, and equity. This International Women’s Day, let us celebrate the strength, resilience, and brilliance of women everywhere. Together, we can continue to balance the scales in our communities, workplaces, and society.
