FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
What began as a solution to a closed networking venue near London Bridge has evolved into the UK’s premier network for authentic professional relationships in facilities management. Property Connect Networking is expanding nationwide, bringing its distinctive approach to FM professionals across the country.
Founded by Keith Glennister and Alex Butterworth nearly two decades ago, Property Connect has remained steadfast in its commitment to face-to-face networking. While the industry has embraced digital transformation, it has maintained its belief that relationships build faster and stronger when people meet in person. This philosophy has proven particularly valuable within the facilities management community, where trust and reliability are paramount.
Its growth reflects the demand for authentic networking. Following the success of its flagship London Bridge events, Property Connect has established thriving groups in Brighton, with Redhill launching this July and Cardiff following soon after. Each location maintains our core principles: no digital attendee lists, no structured pitches, just genuine conversations in comfortable venues where professionals can engage naturally.
The benefits extend across the FM spectrum. Client-side professionals gain access to innovative suppliers and market intelligence, while service providers build relationships that open doors to new opportunities. Young professionals particularly benefit from its welcoming approach, connecting with experienced mentors who share valuable career insights.
The most successful members invest consistently in participation. Over the years, the founders have witnessed remarkable career transformations, professionals advancing from business development to senior operations roles and others transitioning to client-side positions. These changes typically begin with casual conversations that develop into lasting mentorships.
As workplace requirements evolve with sustainability demands and technological advancements, strong professional networks become increasingly critical. Property Connect provides the platform needed to navigate these changes collectively.
