The facilities management sector is entering a period of transformation, driven by sustainable innovation, rising service expectations, and the integration of AI-supported operations. This edition captures that evolution, highlighting how leading organisations are enhancing capability and redefining operational standards.

First, the recognition of ‘ISS Team at Heineken being named as the FM Service Provider Team of the Year’ earlier this year underscores a sector that values excellence in collaboration and service delivery. The team’s performance sets a benchmark for reliability and coordinated support.

Investment momentum is also accelerating. ‘Re-Gen completes £20M first phase of Newry waste-to-fuel facility’ demonstrates how infrastructure development advances regional sustainability objectives while reinforcing circular-economy practices.

Industry scale is likewise evolving. ‘FM sector set to surpass $3T by 2026 amid rising demand for AI-driven, human-centric operations’ reflects a market preparing for significant growth as organisations adopt more intelligent, people-focused systems.

This edition presents a sector strengthening its strategic direction while embracing technology, sustainability, and human-centred performance, offering readers insight into a future defined by efficiency, innovation, and operational excellence.
