Centre for Facilities Management Development

We have some of Europe's leading experts in facilities management (FM), applying the latest strategic thinking in their field.

We provide businesses with an independent analysis of the challenges facing them, and show how FM can make a difference to the whole organisation. We also have a long track record of developing and upskilling practising FM managers.

We specialise in the following areas

Business-critical facilities management

We understand the importance of facilities management to the core business. By putting it in the context of the whole organisation we can demonstrate how much FM contributes to the bottom line.

Performance measurement

We express the contribution of facilities management using metrics including • efficiency • cost per unit area • staff occupancy • satisfaction per unit of space • user perceptions of the physical working environment.

Facilities management and workforce development

We use physical space to create opportunities for individual and organisational development.
