We discover how FMs and their catering & vending
providers are working to safeguard the quality
and flexibility of their foodservice o erings
while still meeting sustainability goals. E ective
maintenance is a vital part of the property
lifecycle, but as Steve McGregor, Group MD of
building services and maintenance specialist
DMA Group (DMA) suggests in our interview, is the
sector in its current state set up to properly meet
the needs of today, let alone the future? As part
of the changes to fire safety regulations there
have been updates to the regulations regarding
li s. We consider the changes and what they
mean for FMs. And we explore flooring products
that embrace the Cradle to Cradle Certification, a
global standard for products that are safe, circular
and responsibly made.
