Hello and welcome to the April edition of Tomorrow’s FM, I hope you have all had a lovely Easter break and are enjoying some Spring sunshine, wherever you are!


There have been some noteworthy moments this month, with the National Living Wage finally being rolled out on the 1st April, there are many questions about how this will affect the industry as a whole; we’ve more on this in our HR Focus. Also big news this month is the announcement of the winners of our Tomorrow’s FM Awards 2016; turn to page 20 for all of the details and comments from participants.


Elsewhere in the issue, we are taking a look into the worlds of Lighting, Document & Data Management, Security and Leisure & Hospitality Facilities. With features including everything from Hackers, to Hatters in Blackpool Pleasure Beach’s famous Alice in Wonderland ride. We hear from the likes of Kemper Systems, Cloudfm and 3M, and of course we cover all the latest from the industry in ‘What’s New?’ and the usual columns from Liz Kentish and Graham Perry.


I hope you’ll enjoy the issue – happy reading!
