FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
Livery company the Worshipful Company of Pattenmakers is looking for the next winner of its coveted annual FM award. This Award recognises a future leader in FM, rewarding a talented early-career professional with a unique personal development opportunity funded by the livery.
The Award is open to newcomers working in the Workplace and FM sectors, who have a maximum of five years’ experience. Entry is free, and all the information needed to enter is available here, including a link to the online entry form.
The winner of the 2025 award was SBFM Account Director, Abigail Richards [pictured]. Previous winners have included young facilities managers from CBRE, Bouygues, Atalian Servest, Atlas Worklace Services, Hermes, the British Computer Society (now BCS) and ISS Facility Services.
Many of these winners have seen their careers accelerated due to the experience and the exposure and we’ve seen how it’s possible to go from caretaker to Head of FM with the right support, training and qualifications.
This is an ideal opportunity to encourage the development of enthusiastic and deserving newcomers and future leaders within the FM industry. Employers may nominate more than one member from their organisation. All shortlisted candidates will be invited free of charge to attend with their line manager the FM&BE trade dinner held on 22nd September 2024 at Barber-Surgeons’ Hall.
The deadline for receipt of entries for the Pattenmakers Future Leader FM Award is:
29th August 2025 – however entries can be submitted now. More information is available here:
FMJ has partnered with global worktech leader, Eptura, to deliver a webinar on Thursday 26 June at 11am to discuss Eptura’s 2025 Workplace Index that suggests that over a third of employers are proactively looking to increase office attendance which could result in a rise in the use of AI and cross-platform data analytics to help manage FM operations.
The webinar will bring together experts from Eptura, along with FM thought leaders on the adoption of integrated solutions that unleash powerful data analytics capabilities, leading to increased productivity and reduced operational costs.
