Hello and welcome to the May issue of Tomorrow’s FM. At the time of writing we are in the middle of the eighth week of UK


lockdown. The measures put in place by the Government, on the advice of


the scientific and medical community, have done their bit to slow the tide of ICU admissions and lower the R (basic reproduction) number to below one.


This means, over the coming weeks, the rhetoric in the political, economical and business spheres is likely to turn onto getting the workforce back into offices, albeit in a different and somewhat socially-distanced form.


A new thought-paper published this month by the British Council for


Offices (BCO) outlined several possible changes to workplaces that we may see over the coming months, and potentially into early next year.


Screens for receptionists, unisex superloos, the adoption of ventilation and humidification systems, and an end (or at least temporary pause) to hot- desking, are just some of the practices they see businesses enacting to avoid future outbreaks of the virus.

business, but it is not an effective long-term solution for how we work,” said Richard Kauntze, Chief Executive of the BCO. “We are social beings and we work best together in an office. When we’re together we share ideas, draw inspiration from each other and form valuable, long-term relationships.


Covid-19 will alter the future of work, however the office will remain at the heart of this future.” How businesses adapt to the ‘new normal’ over the


coming weeks and months is yet to be seen, but as always, this magazine will be there to keep informed every step of the way.


In this issue, we continue to look at the FM response to the Covid-19 pandemic with an array of features that shine a light on the resilience,


adaptability and ‘can-do’ nature of the industry. From ISS Group supporting the soft FM services at the Nightingale hospital to CUBO’s take on how educational facilities have changed as they face the most adverse


challenges ever witnessed, we traverse a variety of sectors to give you a sense of how the industry has dealt with the crisis.


Enjoy the read.
