Hello and welcome to the February issue of Tomorrow’s FM.
“It’s particularly hard to overstate the impact that COVID-19 has had on the economy in 2020,” begins Mark Robinson, Group Chief Executive at SCAPE, in one of our leading features this month. Indeed. As the mass-vaccination programme continues, in the coming months attention is likely to turn to how the UK begins a long, and perhaps arduous, path to economic recovery.

Robinson believes the most important part of this recovery, and perhaps most relevant to FMs, will be the evolution of estates, particularly across the public sector. With the government having committed £900m this year alone to deliver projects across hospitals, schools and civil infrastructure as part of its £5bn ‘New Deal’, as well as a £4bn ‘levelling-up’ fund for regions needing urgent stimulus, 2021 may be the starting point for the next generation of public sector-led improvement to UK real estate.
A focus on opportunity runs throughout this issue. In our Cleaning feature, Jan-Hein Hemke, MD of Facilicom UK & Ireland, believes 2021 offers a chance for employers to continue to invest in people and support them with their progression, whilst UKWSL discusses how environmental performance and a more sustainable future can still occur whilst reducing business costs in our Recycling and Waste Management feature.
Elsewhere, we take a look at a new competency training course that promises to support safer and more productive water jetting, and Fooditude explores ways in which facilities teams can keep a connection with the wider company and boost morale whilst employees continue to work from home.
Enjoy the issue.
