Training leaders and transforming lives for over a century, Regents Theological College is more than just a place of education. As one of the UK’s largest Pentecostal Bible colleges, nestled in a Victorian country house, it’s a place where around 200 students come not only to learn but, to find community, purpose, and preparation for their future.
While the college is rooted in history, it has a modern outlook. The campus isn’t just home to classrooms and lecture halls; it also includes student accommodation, over 30 conference rooms, and welcomes guests from many walks of life. Regents Theological College is a vibrant, diverse site that strives to be safe, welcoming, and healthy for all who pass through its doors.
To uphold that standard, effective cleaning operations are essential. That’s why the college has gone beyond traditional products, committing to smarter, more efficient solutions that support their values, teams, and long-term goals. That’s where BioHygiene comes in.
A Partnership Built on Shared Values
With an extensive site and a team of 20 housekeepers, the college needed more than just cleaning products. They needed a cleaning partner. The head housekeeper was looking for solutions that were safe, high-performing, and environmentally responsible. After consulting with their trusted distributor, the college was introduced to BioHygiene, the UK’s leading biotech cleaning brand.
Smart Training for a Diverse Team
With a housekeeping team of over 10 people from varied backgrounds, ensuring consistent standards across a complex site like Regents Theological College requires more than just good products. It demands clear, accessible, and flexible training.
Managing onboarding, COSHH compliance, language diversity, and daily task support can be a challenge. That’s where BioHygiene’s training platform became a vital part of the solution.
“The online training of Biohygiene is fantastic. It can be easily accessed by the entire team and provides:
- Onboarding materials to get new starters up to speed quickly
- COSHH and safety training tailored to individual roles and areas
- Product usage guides with step-by-step visuals
- Dilution charts and video demonstrations for each product
- Digital cleaning rotas and task lists to support daily operations
- Instant access to Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and wall charts for full compliance”
Sustainability That Goes Beyond the Surface
Surrounded by 35 acres of woodland and over 3,000 acres of open countryside Regents Theological College has the unique chance to connect with nature as part of their spiritual and personal wellbeing.
So, for a site that is exposed and values its natural surroundings, doing more to promote and protect sustainability was a critical point for their cleaning team. When the head housekeeper began reviewing the college’s cleaning practices, they knew they needed a solution that would align with their environmental values while still delivering the high performance needed across such a busy site.
As BioHygiene’s products are made with naturally derived, renewable ingredients that carry low-to-no hazard classifications means they’re safer to use and kinder to the environment throughout the product’s entire lifecycle. From ingredient sourcing to packaging, to the way products are used and disposed of, every step is designed to minimise impact.
By switching to BioHygiene, the college has already made significant progress in cutting its environmental footprint.
Key environmental benefits include:
- Carbon Reduction:
Naturally derived ingredients have a lower carbon footprint. But BioHygiene goes further. Our market-leading concentrates reduce storage and transport emissions, while cold water, no-rinse formulas cut energy and water use on site. This full-lifecycle approach to carbon has approximately helped Regents reduce their footprint by 86%—saving around 50.7kg of CO₂e, the same weight as taking 101 hardback books off the shelves. - Protecting Biodiversity:
With low or no hazard classifications, the products reduce aquatic toxicity when they enter the water system, supporting the ecosystems that Regents students have come to enjoy. - Cutting Plastic Waste:
Educational institutions are under growing pressure to reduce single-use plastic and conduct waste audits. With BioHygiene, Regents has taken real steps to address this —using PCR (post-consumer recycled) packaging, switching to concentrated formulas and multi-purpose formulations, all working to reduce the volume of plastic bottles needed on site. Overall, they’ve cut their plastic waste by roughly 61%, saving 6.87 kg—the equivalent weight of 687 plastic pens.
