Hello and welcome to the October edition of


Tomorrow’s FM, the nights are drawing in and with them comes a whole host of new challenges for the world of facilities management.


It’s time for our annual delve into the world of Winter Maintenance, as we look at everything from flu prevention tactics to technology and gritting plans; we’ve got all angles covered.


Another issue that can arise as things cool off is pests; a cosy office closet or cloakroom can seem very appealing to a furry intruder, so in our Pest Control section this month we’ve tips on how to keep the critters out, and prevent pigeon fouling problems.


Also in this issue we’ve Fire & Disaster Recovery, as the inquiry into the


Grenfell Tower tragedy continues we have comment from industry experts on what can be done to prevent similar cases in the future. And finally, we revisit the Washroom; with Global Handwashing Day still in our minds we


look at ways to prevent the spread of bacteria in your facilities, and how to alleviate the strains of busy bathroom breaks.


And don’t forget our ‘10 Questions With...’ feature, which this month sees


Amthal Fire & Security’s Paul Rosenthal discuss his early wish to join The Force and more recent designs upon an Audi R8, whilst Liz Kentish shares her opinion on the value of second chances.


And don’t forget to check out the results of this year’s BIFM Awards in our ‘What’s New?’ section!
