company news from the FM industry.
Next Edition
FMJ visits The Fisheries, a co-working space
located just behind London Fields that puts
community at its heart. We interview Mark Caskey,
Corporate Solutions CEO at JLL for his views on
how FMs can enhance the performance of their
workplaces, real estate portfolios and people. In
our environmental focus we hear how FMs can
help their organisations get back on track to meet
carbon cutting targets which help organisations
achieve their sustainability goals. With the
widespread adoption of digital solutions for front
of house services, we learn how these can be
designed to co-exist alongside the more personal
touch of a concierge team. Plus useful guidance
from the British Pest Control Association (BPCA)
on establishing pest control maintenance cycles to
help avoid seasonal pest problems.
