Welcome to the combined December/January issue
of FM-, Zhere Ze round off the \ear and look ahead
to 2019. It certainly was a heady year. It began with
the dramatic collapse of Carillion, leading to grave
concerns on the future of outsourcing; and by the end
of year there had been some major announcements,
including a name change, by the leading FM institutes.
RICS-IFMA announced the launch of a new dedicated IFMA UK
chapter and the British Institute of Facilities Management (BIFM)
was rebranded as the Institute of Workplace and Facilities
Management (IWFM).
All these developments led to some soul searching within the
sector on the future of FM and its role in the wider built environment.
With this in mind we asked this month’s FM Clinic panellists, what
they predict could be the biggest issues to impact on the sector next
year? Amongst the commentators this month is Lucy Hind, Facilities
Director at Covance Labs and a member of our new FMJ Editorial
Steering Committee. We’re pleased to announce that all of our
steering panel members (details to the le ) hail from the FM client
side, representing a diverse range of sectors including education,
healthcare, law and pharmaceutical. They will be an invaluable
source of opinion and insight into the issues that really matter
for FMs, and as client side FMs they’re free to discuss a
wide range of topics; from service delivery to meeting compliance.
Their contribution will help us to truly reflect the issues that impact
this sector.
Other new changes to the magazine this month is our newly revised
FM career’s pages which include features on recruitment trends, the
latest opportunities for training and upskilling and a new regular
compliance column to help ensure readers are kept abreast of the
latest legislation or guidance that could impact their role. There may
be some further challenges (see news) around the corner next year,
but we’ll be there to help you steer a steady course.
As always, we’d welcome your feedback about any aspect of the
magazine, together with your insight into what’s happening in the FM
sector.
