FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
CBRE has secured a five-year contract to deliver planned and reactive hard facilities management services for the University of Glasgow.
The contract, which commences in April will see CBRE maintain the university’s 300+ building estate.
According to the commercial real estate business, the University of Glasgow chose CBRE for its outcome-based solution that focuses on delivering operational excellence, sustainability, and world-class user experience for the University of Glasgow community.
Barry Morton, Director of Facilities Services at the University of Glasgow, said: “I see this as a new beginning for the delivery of property maintenance where our focus will be proactive, preventative repairs. Together with CBRE, we expect to transform the colleague experience when faced with reactive maintenance requirements and deliver quicker, high-quality repairs across our campuses.”
Kevin Lynn, President at CBRE Global Workplace Solutions UK, added: “We’re delighted to have this opportunity to work in partnership with the University of Glasgow, becoming the long-term stewards of such a prestigious portfolio. The University’s strategy is clear, and we very much look forward to working with exceptional people brought together by a shared purpose, shared values and the desire to make a difference.”
FMJ in conjunction with Grundon Waste Management is pleased to launch the 2023 waste management and recycling survey which examines the ways in which FMs approach their waste management responsibilities.
In this, the sixth year for the annual appraisal, we know there is a greater opportunity than ever for FMs to reappraise their waste and recycling operations and help their organisations meet the growing pressure to achieve ESG goals.
We want to learn how FMs have adapted to the legislative, economic and societal changes of the past year and how they plan to meet the latest waste and recycling targets.
In this survey we’ve posed a series of questions which include insights into FMs’ waste management strategy and targets, how they’re moving towards zero waste targets, and the importance of not just meeting compliance targets but also ESG goals.
The results of the 2023 survey will be published in FMJ magazine and form the basis of a white paper co-written by FMJ and the experts at Grundon on how to approach waste and recycling strategies.
