FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
ISS has announced three new appointments to strengthen the Food Services offering to clients. Sukie Read, Steve Ross and David Wood have all joined the ISS Food Services sales commercial team as Solution Directors.
Read brings her extensive experience in the field of contract catering, whilst Ross has joined from Atalian Servest, having previously worked for a number of well-known industry names. For Wood, this marks a return to ISS from Baxter Storey, where he was a key part of the sales team for several years.
Speaking of the new appointments, ISS UK Commercial Director, Eddie Fairish said: “ISS is embarking on a new OneISS strategy, where we connect people and places to make the world work better and will deliver on the promise of making places that Work, Think, and Give. We believe that people make places and having these three exceptionally talented individuals join our team shows our intent and determination to grow our first-class food services across our chosen integrated FM sectors.”
The appointments are part of the award-winning ISS Food Services business which recently created the MADE Well Workplace Wellbeing Programme developed by nutrition, culinary and marketing experts with the new world of work in mind. Built around three key pillars the offering is tailored to support evolving habits and lifestyle choices across the new working landscape.
As workplaces open up and restrictions lift the role of the FM has become more important than ever.
The challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic are now providing a valuable opportunity for FMs to demonstrate their skills and adaptability. Whilst on a practical level FMs are responsible for making buildings safe and comfortable, they are also crucial in attracting people back to the office.
In speaking with industry leaders, it is clear that there are six key areas of focus. Zip has published a white paper which looks at each one, suggesting ways that facilities managers can tackle the complexities and pace of a return to the workplace, whilst demonstrating clear and effective leadership along the way.
