FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
Kevin Meighan was officially installed as Master of the Worshipful Company of Environmental Cleaners (WCEC) at an event held at Mansion House on 27 March 2026. He succeeds the former Master, Darren Marston.
Meighan is the Sales Director at NIC Services Group. He has been a member of the Worshipful Company of Environmental Cleaners since 2007 and is the first WCEC Master to hold chartership as an Accountant and as an Environmental Cleaner.
Meighan’s tenure as Master, falls in a significant year for the Environmental Cleaners, as the Livery celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2026. He said: “I feel honoured to be the new Master of the Environmental Cleaners. The cleaning industry deserves far greater recognition, and the Livery is committed to its continued elevation and standing. We have an exciting year ahead with new initiatives and events that will serve both our members and the wider industry. The momentum must continue to serve that outcome.”
A significant part of Meighan’s attention as Master will be the WCEC Higher Education Bursary Programme which he announced at the Installation Banquet. This scheme will offer financial support to young people whose parents or guardians work in the cleaning industry. The first beneficiary is expected to receive funding in September 2026.
FMJ and Watco Webinar: Meeting compliance in a new culture of accountability
From January 2026, the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) formally separated from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Created under the Building Safety Act 2022 in response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the BSR is designed to raise safety standards across the built environment and introduce a stronger culture of accountability, transparency, and proactive risk management.
This shift places facilities managers in a more strategic safety assurance role – far beyond routine maintenance.
FMJ and Watco are hosting a webinar on 22 April at 11:00am to explore what this new regulatory landscape means for FMs. To register for the webinar click here.
