Recently, Michelle Connolly of the IWFM Veterans in FM Network seized the opportunity to sit down with Mitie CEO Phil Bentley to discuss all matters workplace and facilities management (WFM). Over the course of the conversation, Phil recounted his career beginnings and progress in WFM, key WFM trends like digital innovation and building efficiency, plus the importance of supporting and developing armed forces veterans in the sector.

Service leavers play a strong role in Mitie. Over a thousand veterans work for the organisation, utilising their skills and experience to pursue specialisms and reach strategic career levels. Dedication, collaboration, problem solving and people management; these are just some of the veterans’ capabilities Mitie has identified as ensuring the organisation achieves success.

Michelle and the team would like to thank Phil and Mitie for taking the time to get involved. To find out more about the IWFM Veterans in FM Network , click here or engage through LinkedIn.
