IWFM Veterans in FM Network Deputy Chair Alistair Scott said:
‘Let's collectively move away from "falling into FM" and instead make workplace and facilities management a career of choice. There is a lot of collaborative work ahead to truly realise the potential of this newly formed professional Network. Together, we can make a real difference to armed forces veterans and the profession itself.’
Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to make a real impact on the industry. We look forward to hearing from you.
