The Guinness Book of World Records and the Federation of Window Cleaners have announced the launch of `The Fastest Window Cleaner on the Planet` competition. The competition will be held at the Windex exhibition on 27th-28th March 2008 in Coventry, England. Competition organisers are calling record holders and challengers the world over to come forward to compete for the title. Could you be the lucky winner?
`The Fastest Window Cleaner on the Planet` competition, as its name suggests, is open to professional window cleaners around the globe. Current national record holders will be admitted to the competition plus one challenger per country. Record holders must verify that they have the fastest national time before being allowed entry to the competition. It is free to enter the competition and the deadline for entries is 7th January 2008.
The current world record is held by Terry `Turbo` Burrows as he is known within the trade. Set in England in 2005, his record stands at an impressive 9.24 seconds. Terry took on no less than 7 world records to become the fastest window cleaner in the world. A black belt in karate, Terry claims that karate has made him faster and more determined at window cleaning competitions and record challenges.
Windex is the U.K`s largest specialist exhibition for professional window cleaners. Held bi-annually, the show will run alongside Carpex and is the largest exhibition for professional carpet cleaners.
Commenting on next year`s competition, Beryl Murray, General Secretary of The Federation of Window Cleaners said; `I am really enthusiastic about the launch of the new competition in 2008. I would urge contestants to come forward to make this a truly international challenge. It certainly promises to be an exciting competition and along with Windex, will work to further raise the profile of the window cleaning profession on a global scale.`
