FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
DE-ICE – STAND FM5035
“The De-ice Six Pillars of Partnership, encompasses: our reputation, account management, skilled workers, forecasting, technology and assurances”, explains Vicky Lopez Co-Founder/Director at De-ice. “We focus on winter all year round, even whilst the Facilities Show takes place during the height of summer. Our winter starts in summer.
“As a long-term exhibitor at the show, we always look to try and deliver new content to add value for visitors and exhibitors. And I think this is something the show organisers do incredibly well too; they always look to vary the content to keep it fresh and exciting. This year’s wellbeing theme is no exception – a really hot topic which has become so prevalent in the workplace, and something which we also focus on when it comes to our own staff and clients. We try to alleviate the stresses and strains that cold winter weather brings, helping our clients to focus on their day jobs.
“The seminars are one of my highlights of the three days. I try to get along to as many as possible. This year, I have already earmarked the Eddie the Eagle presentation on risk and safety, and I suspect it will be a packed audience. He is such an inspiration to us all – showing that hard work, determination and courage are so valuable in helping to achieve our dreams.”
EXPRESS VENDING – STAND FM4260
Matt Sayers, Head of Marketing at Express Vending describes what is in store for this year’s show. “From coffee, snacks, cold drinks and water solutions to the revolutionary Express HUB and Starbucks on the go; Express Vending specialises in providing its customers with a full site solution, meaning that it covers all workplace refreshment needs under one roof. We’ve successfully introduced the pioneering Express HUB ‘Micro Market’ concept to sites across London and surrounding counties and visitors to our stand can expect to find out more about all of this as well as seeing our latest innovative and game-changing innovations in the workplace refreshments space.
“What I enjoy best about the show is that we can generate a real energy and buzz on the stand as a team and enjoy gaining more face time with our customers and showing off our latest innovations. It’s also great interacting with visitors so we can increase our understanding of the requirements of the modern workplace. It’s also a good place to catch up and meet friends and colleagues in the industry.
“I will be looking to learn more from the seminars being held at the new Workplace Wellbeing Theatre. Themes such as workplace design and its impact on productivity and wellbeing as well as nutrition being part of a health and wellbeing offer, are key to us. Attending the seminars, it will be interesting to find out what like-minded people in the industry are discussing around the topics we are passionate about addressing.”

These events are a great networking tool for the FM profession, as well as to put FM firmly on, and at the forefront of, the workplace map.

JACOBS DOUWE EGBERTS – STAND FM5876
“With 75 per cent of office workers drinking coffee, great tasting, good quality coffee is an important element in every workplace,” argues Charlea Samuel, Category Marketing Manager Premium Coffee.
“Quality is crucial though, as 29 per cent of all office workers say that great coffee improves overall motivation – so making the right choice can truly drive business success. It’s also not just your staff, a survey of 1,000 consumers revealed that 50 per cent are likely to view a business more favourably if it serves high quality coffee in reception on arrival.
“As experts in coffee, Jacobs Douwe Egberts understands the real benefits great coffee can bring and we have the best brands and equipment to make your coffee the very best it can be. This year at the Facilities Show, JDE is set to unveil its latest exclusive bean brand, White Ox, as well as showcase a selection of its industry-leading coffee equipment. This will include the Barista One bean to cup machine, L’Or Promesso and L’Or Lucente systems as well as the recently launched, Cafitesse Excellence Touch. Show visitors can see the quality of the machines for themselves– as well as find out more about ease of operation, simplicity of cleaning and full-service agreements available.
“Launching at the show, Douwe Egberts’ new premium bean brand White Ox and its debut variant, Blend No.1, has been developed in response to the demands of today’s coffee drinkers, who, in line with the recent explosion of coffee culture, have become increasingly discerning about the coffee they drink – everywhere they drink it. White Ox’s Blend No.1 can be sampled by visitors on our stand.
“At Jacobs Douwe Egberts, we are motivated by the belief that it’s amazing what can happen over a cup of coffee. So come and see us at stand FM5876 to sample White Ox Blend No.1 and to learn how we can help to enhance the coffee experience in your business.”
