45 New product and service launches and
company news from the FM industry.
Next Edition
Our case study explores a cutting-edge technology
pilot that has put 18th century Kenwood House
on a technological par with The Shard. We look
at the range of issues arising for maintenance
providers dealing with buildings le empty or
under-occupied during lockdown and ask, will
maintenance contracts need to change to reflect
changes in occupancy habits? We learn how waste
services providers may need to help clients reevaluate
and meet their targets post lockdown,
including continuing the campaign against single
use plastic. The manned security sector has
evolved to meet the challenges of the past year,
with the introduction of COVID-19 training as an
integral part of training/induction. We ask, what
key areas should clients now expect their manned
security services to cover?
