The notoriously unpredictable UK weather took a dramatic turn last winter when, at the start of March, Wales was hit by a Siberian blast. This was
quickly succeeded by an extreme weather warning being issued as the Beast from the East and Storm Emma battered the majority of the country.
Gridlocking motorways, cutting off rural businesses and shutting down
construction work completely, the volatile conditions reportedly cost the UK economy £1bn a day. And, as Vicky Lopez tells us in her article (page 44) for the Winter Maintenance section, this year has the potential to be just as bad and the best way of tackling erratic conditions is to start planning now.
Elsewhere in the issue, in response to the devastating loss of life at Grenfell Tower, our Fire Safety and Disaster Recovery feature sees Dame Judith Hackitt’s call for a ‘universal shift in culture’ into work practices put under
the microscope, as Amthal Fire & Security asks what it means for FMs who continue to be tasked with prioritising fire safety compliance on site.
Initial Washroom Hygiene explores the importance of pleasant aromas inside the washroom and Essity looks at how societal trends are transforming toilet spaces. We also return to Pest Control this month
with BPCA member, NBC Environment providing an introductory guide to effective bird management.
No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks and so I’d also like to take this opportunity to send my sincerest gratitude to Liz Kentish for
her monthly columns over the past three-and-a-half years. Given her busy schedule as MD of Kentish & Co, I am incredibly grateful she has been with us for so long, injecting each of her columns with wisdom and humour. Thank you, Liz. We wish you the very best for the future.
