FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
The Mitie Podcast returns for another season following the award-winning success of its debut series, which surpassed 220,000 downloads this year.
The second series will take listeners behind the scenes of the UK’s most high-performing places where Mitie operates, including Heathrow Airport, Boulby Underground Laboratory – the only deep underground science facility in the UK – and Mitie’s Intelligent Security Operations Centre (ISOC) in Northampton.
Hosted by FM experts Chris Moriarty and Ian Ellison, also known for presenting The Workplace Geeks podcast, the series reveals how exceptional people and cutting-edge technology are transforming environments and shaping the future of high-performing places, and will also explore how offices and workspaces can be designed to boost productivity and create high-performing environments.
Listeners will hear from leading industry voices, including generational diversity expert Dr Paul Redmond, who discusses how businesses can build multigenerational workspaces where colleagues of all ages thrive. Jason Towse, Managing Director, Business Services, Mitie, also shares how data-led, intelligent security, powered by Mitie’s ISOC, is helping to create safer communities.
Other episodes explore how organisations like Mitie are uniquely well placed to deliver social impact at scale, helping to create high-performing places by championing inclusive recruitment and creating local employment opportunities. Helen Longfils, Group Director of Social Value, Mitie, highlights the vital role organisations play as a force for good within the communities they serve. Meanwhile, Gareth Rees, Director of Enterprise Technology, Mitie, discusses the importance of organisations taking a responsible, ethical approach to technology and AI – as well as his vision for the future of spaces.
The first of the four episodes is available now, with subsequent episodes to be released weekly on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music.
Kevin Tyrrell, Chief Growth Officer, Mitie, said: “We are excited to be returning for a second series of The Mitie Podcast following a fantastic response to the first series. Across the four episodes, listeners will discover how we use technology-driven insights to make spaces smarter, safer and high-performing, transforming the places where millions of us live, work, and travel.”
Ian Ellison, Host, Workplace Geeks, said: “One of the real privileges of this series has been exploring places that the public are rarely able to experience first hand. Gaining this access allowed us to consider ‘high performance’ from different angles. Through the voices of the people working in these environments, we’ve come to understand not just how they operate, but the how they impact the places we work and live in more broadly.”
