 company news from the FM industry. 
  Next Edition 
 The April issue includes a look at the ways FMs can  
 help create an e ective wellbeing strategy, with  
 working practices that really make a di  erence;  
 and we learn why o  ice design may be beginning  
 to move away from collaborative work spaces  
 -  allowing  for focused workspaces that minimise  
 stress for employees. We consider the digital  
 workplace, and the practical ways in which, with  
 the right technologies in place, facilities managers  
 can manage buildings more easily. Paul Crilly, MD  
 of NJC (Not Just Cleaning) explains why they’ve  
 moved their HQ into central London, and the  
 benefits this brings to sta   and clients. And when it  
 comes to M&E, what can the FM industry do to help  
 close the wider engineering skills gap?
