47 New product and service launches and
company news from the FM industry.
Next Edition
We report on how an NHS Trust has transformed
sta catering by partnering with a specialist
business and industry contract caterer to bring the
service back in-house. A preview of the highlights
of the Facilities Show, which returns to London
17 - 19 May for the world’s largest gathering of
FMs. In FM Clinic, we ask, what more should the
FM sector be doing to ensure that calls for more
inclusive washrooms in workplaces and public
buildings are being met? In CRE, can the o ice
bounce back post pandemic and when will real
estate be considered as more than an asset? And
we take a look at the best means to improve the
energy performance of buildings, from insulation
and double glazing to renewable heating, cooling,
lighting and hot water alternatives.
