Their experience in managing services that are vital for our patients and staff, along with their dedication to their employees, is welcomed, and we look forward to the expertise and innovation they will bring to our Trust.”
As environmental protection demands unified action, transparency, and heightened awareness, Biological Preparations has launched an initiative to catalyse sustainability efforts within the FM sector.
FM businesses face unique challenges and heightened expectations of eco-initiatives from their clients. Yet, behind the scenes in FM businesses, many environmental initiatives, rollouts and even planning, are not broadcasted and transparent.
