42 New product and service launches and
company news from the FM industry.
Next Edition
We hear how COVID-19 has accelerated trends in
the commercial property sector around health
and wellbeing, activity-based working, flexibility
and the drive for better space utilisation. How
an FM provider helps clients meet their energy
management targets and the benefits for councils
in forging carbon-neutral contracts with the
traditionally carbon-intensive FM industries. As
lockdown restrictions li we will see more people
return to work, in the high street, the o ice and
service sectors. But how will we get to work? What
can FMs and workplace professionals do to make
di erent, healthy and safe routes to work? And
front of house teams will be needed in guiding
building users through adapting to the ‘new
normal’ in a way that reassures building users
without overstretching resources.
