Opportunities in UK facilities management

This eagerly anticipated update of the first report published in 1996/97 provides a detailed analysis of the current market size and structure for the UK.

The report gives vital, up-to-date market intelligence, allowing a clear understanding of the market's attitudes and motivations. This research is designed to address these needs and provide a major review of contracting out practice.

Over two hundred face to face and telephone interviews have been conducted from a cross section of major blue chip companies and public sector organisations.

The study will help you understand what is motivating the market to adopt the property management strategies undertaken, and the type of services major clients would expect. The study will also provide you with information on the level of satisfaction with contractors and the innovative developments and expected changes within the industry.

Also included in the study are details on the FM market trends, key conclusions and recommendations for suppliers of FM services, end users attitudes and much more.

In the UK meanwhile, areas once considered to be the preserve of strategic contracts are now seen as part of an operational contract by some customers and companies see IT, property, logistics and business process as coming under the FM umbrella.
