FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
CBRE Global Workplace Solutions (GWS) has won a contract with East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT), for the delivery of hard FM services across more than 130 sites.
Serving over 1.8 million people, ELFT is a recognised leader in mental health and community healthcare, having recently achieved its third consecutive ‘Outstanding’ rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Working in partnership, CBRE will support ELFT in further enhancing its services, ensuring safe and secure spaces across all facilities and improving experiences for service users and staff.
CBRE’s services are underpinned by its industry-leading technology stack, which will enable ELFT to access greater insight into the performance of its assets and facilities. The bespoke solution includes a dedicated Service Performance Manager who will leverage cutting-edge AI to analyse facilities data from across the complete estate.
In addition, CBRE will integrate social value into its services, prioritising local suppliers, partnering with schools, and employing early-career apprentice engineers, amongst other initiatives.
David Stevens, Director of Estates, Facilities & Capital Development at ELFT, said: “We are excited to be partnering with CBRE to improve the delivery of hard services across our estate. This collaboration will be transformational for the Trust, enabling us to enhance our facilities for patients and staff across ELFT, while also continuing to support our local communities.”
Wayne Goldsmith, Managing Director, Health & Care Division at CBRE, commented: “We’re proud to partner with ELFT on this transformational journey. Together, we will create and maintain environments that support the Trust’s vision to promote healthy lives for all.”
The way we work has changed – yet, many organisations are still relying on rigid, one-size-fits-all tools to manage desks and meeting rooms, according to a new study from workplace management solutions provider, Matrix Booking.
Spreadsheets, calendars, and generic booking software may have worked once, but they’re struggling to keep pace with today’s flexible, hybrid workforce. The result? Wasted time, frustrated employees, and expensive underutilised space.
Matrix Booking’s new study, ‘One-size-fits-all booking systems don’t work for today’s workforce’, explores why current systems are falling short – and how organisations can reimagine workspace management to boost efficiency, employee experience, and cost savings.
