The Toilet Queen with Becky Wall is the latest episode of the Business Awards Show featuring a female entrepreneur who is steeped in business awards. Although hers are rather more unconventional than most! Becky has been passionate about toilets since her mother used to check them before allowing her family into any establishment. This led her to run her own business, A Plush Flush, started in 2006, providing luxury toilets for all sorts of events. Having won a platinum award at the Loo of the Year Awards in 2017, she was offered the opportunity to take over the awards programme in 2021. Running for 37 years, Becky proudly tells us why the Loo of the Year Awards are important to all of us; toilets are, after all, something we all use. She also explains her campaigning work around the Changing Places programme, a project fighting to significantly increase the number of public toilets available to disabled people, to allow them the facilities they need. You may not have given much thought to toilets, but all of us have stories about soaking, filthy floors, overflowing sinks, toilets that don't seem to have been cleaned for days, and much more. Becky fights every day to ensure that we all have access to the best washroom facilities possible across the UK and tells us why it matters. You may not run a business that involves providing toilets to the public, but this episode will offer deep insights into what is important to customers, why toilets are so important in any business, and the power of following your passion, no matter how leftfield it may seem.
