commitment to delivering quality services to
each of our customers and the Facilities Show
is the ideal place to reinforce our relationships.
As a Group, our service o ering has expanded
to now include pest control, as a direct result
of the changing requirements of our clients.
While the Facilities Show will give us a great
platform to demonstrate our core o erings
of grounds maintenance, plant displays and
winter gritting, it will also be an opportunity
to illustrate how all areas of the business
supplement and strengthen one another.
“This year’s theme of creating smart,
e icient, and healthy work environments is
something that connects multiple groups,
including ourselves. It will, undoubtedly, be
the catalyst for inspiration amongst businesses
looking to make the FM sector sustainable,
and we are excited at the prospect of being
involved in those conversations.
“The Facilities Show presents an opportunity
for all FM businesses and suppliers like Nurture
to learn and share sustainability practices
with peers and customers alike. It has always
delivered thought-provoking seminars and
panel discussions which, in turn, have given
us ideas for how we can improve our own
operations, and no doubt the same will be the
case this year, particularly when it comes to
working sustainably and responsibly.
“Having achieved carbon neutral status in
accordance with PAS 2060 and demonstrating
our commitment to our sta as a Real Living
Wage employer, the ESG agenda is a major part
of our ethos.
“Being at the Facilities Show is exciting for
all members of the team at Nurture and we are
looking forward to welcoming visitors to our
stand FM2630.”

Jess Pritchard, Head
of the Corporate
Sector at leading
outsourced
communications
provider Moneypenny
says: “We’ll showcase
how we’ve adapted
our outsourced
switchboard service to support hybrid
working with our Teams integration. This has
tremendous value for facilities professionals
as it gives them the communications
infrastructure they need to accommodate
remote working. It enables calls to be routed
to the right person, wherever they are. It also
means we can check Teams’ status and only
transfer calls when the person is free, or take a
message if they are in another Teams meeting.
“We’ll also major on the more strategic
benefits of outsourcing switchboard provision
– such as reducing overheads, avoiding the
challenges of recruiting switchboard sta
in house, ensuring robust communications
provision and guaranteeing consistent and
professional service, not to mention helping to
make businesses more scalable too.
“Without a doubt the main areas we’re
looking forward to from the show has got to
be networking with clients and partners and
making new friends. The pandemic has really
highlighted just how much we all value human
connection, so events like the Facilities Show
provide a brilliant opportunity to get the
industry together to do business and share
ideas.
“There’s also lots of value to be had from
the events on o er. Part of that comes from
gathering information on latest trends and new
products, but there’s also tremendous value
in listening to our peers and discussing the
challenges the industry faces. All of this helps
with personal growth, but also with wider
innovation in the sector.”
“I hope that visitors to our stand will see how
innovation through technology can really add
value to their business, and gain some thoughtprovoking
ideas on how they could improve
switchboard management. Our message is
all about future proofing communications
and ensuring that systems, and partners,
o er the flexibility that businesses really
need. The pandemic was a lesson in business
agility, so we’ll be showcasing exactly where
Moneypenny can help. Plus, because we know
just how popular they are, we’ll have plenty of
our signature Moneypenny socks to give away
too.”
