FMJ DEBATE
Between 11-11.45am on Wednesday, FMJ will hold
a debate. A report, Solving the UK’s productivity
puzzle in the digital age, published by the McKinsey
Global Institute last year argues that the UK’s
“uneven digitisation” is one of the reasons for our
continuing productivity gap. It’s been argued that
the FM sector could be playing a much stronger role
in helping to boost productivity within businesses.
How can technologies such as CAFM, sensors and
other forms of prop tech be deployed to improve
performance for clients and FM services providers?
Speakers include; Compton Darlington, Business
Development Director, FSI. Simon Francis, Principal
Lead, Estates and Master-planning, Zoological
Society of London. Alejandro Navarro, Director of
Products & Analytics - Connected Workspace, Mitie.
And Paul Wilkinson, Technical/FM writer.

Coleen Cloherty Managing Director of specialist

Show is the first event of the year that we look
for at Build Recruitment and one we spend a
considerable amount of time planning. At each
show we ensure you have access to all our
current vacancies, an opportunity to register with
a specialist recruiter and free of charge salary
reviews & benchmarking exercises. There will be
an opportunity for any potential clients to register
with us their current vacancies and to agree an
action plan on any requirements.
“This year marks my
20th year in the FM sector
and recruitment. I have
attended every show
where time allows. I enjoy
meeting with people who
we are currently working
with, have worked with in
the past and those met for
Coleen Cloherty
the first time at the show,
as o‚ en it is a time where we can meet with people
on a less formal and more relaxed basis. I also
really enjoy the ability to walk around the venue
and catch up with industry friends and colleagues
alike.
“We attend as many seminars and events as
we can and lend our support to others in the
sector. This year I am involved in a panel covering
Company Culture, recognition and getting a seat on
the board. This is on the 20th June between 11.55
and 12.40 in the Facilities Management Theatre.
