Facilities management is increasingly defined by foresight, accountability and the ability to translate strategy into consistent performance. This edition reflects a considered editorial approach that brings together leadership, growth and sustainability as signals of a sector moving with confidence rather than haste.

Anticipating this year’s excellence, ‘Sustainability Leader John Cunniffe joins Facilities Management Awards 2026 Judging Panel’ highlights the importance of experienced, values-led judgement in setting credible industry benchmarks. The focus reinforces how governance and expertise continue to shape expectations as facilities management evolves in scale and responsibility.

Organisational clarity is central to ‘Pareto FM strengthens leadership and repositions brand for facilities management growth.’ The story reflects a wider trend towards deliberate leadership structures that support resilience, market confidence and sustainable expansion.

Environmental responsibility is also addressed through ‘Mesa County continues electronic waste recycling with IT Refresh.’ It signals how operational decisions increasingly align with broader expectations around stewardship, efficiency and long-term value.

Taken together, this edition presents a facilities management sector guided by measured leadership and purposeful action. The stories encourage readers to view progress as the result of thoughtful choices that balance performance, responsibility and ambition.
