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 annual Young Facilities Manager Award – a unique career development opportunity that has helped boost the careers of numerous facilities management professionals. The Pattenmakers is one of the historic Livery Companies of the City of London with its origins dating back to the 14th century. In recent years the Company has become the Livery home of the facilities management industry.
The winner of the prestigious Pattenmaker Young Manager Award receives expert support to create a varied and bespoke personal development programme, including off-site courses and a programme of customised work placements designed to broaden their perspective. The training programme will be developed in full consultation with the winner’s line manager or employer. There is also a small financial bursary kindly donated by learning provider International Workplace.
Recent winners have included young facilities managers from Bouygues, Atalian Servest, Salisbury Group, CBRE, Hermes, the British Computer Society (now BCS), and ISS Facility Services.
This is an ideal opportunity to encourage the development of enthusiastic and deserving young people within the FM industry. Employers may nominate more than one young manager 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 19th September 2023 at Haberdashers Hall.
The Award is customarily presented to the winner by the Lord Mayor of London at the Pattenmakers’ Annual Banquet held at the Mansion House in January each year together with a £500 financial bursary kindly donated by International Workplace. The winner will also be announced and receive the Freedom of the Company which is presented at the trade dinner, with the opportunity to apply for the Freedom of the City of London at a later stage.
