We acknowledge there are myriad ways people come to the industry and no set career path FMs follow, but most successful FMs remember the moment they realised FM was the industry for them and that they had the potential to excel in their job.

If you’ve witnessed someone recently coming to the same conclusion, we want to know:
– What makes them an outstanding performer in FM? What makes them stand out from the crowd?
– How have they improved performance within their FM team and/or organisation? What key milestones and outcomes have they achieved?
–  And what personal qualities show their commitment to the FM industry?
