BIFM Corporate Membership

BIFM Corporate Membership

As organisations increasingly occupy complex

buildings and use sophisticated technology
for communications and control, individuals
have higher expectations of their working
environments, professional facilities
management is the lynchpin to planning,
maintaining and managing facilities to
best effect.
Good facilities management can deliver flexibility,
adaptability and sustainability helping organisations
respond to cost pressures. At its best it is a real
differentiator and in the commercial sphere
provides a competitive advantage.
FM is becoming more and more important for the
business world as a critical strategic discipline. BIFM remains the
constant in continuing to raise the profile of FM to keep it on
the business agenda and bring together the FM community.
Becoming a Corporate Member can help your company stay
ahead of the competition. Being associated with the BIFM
raises a companys profile and brand awareness within the
FM industry, helping to increase long term networking and
sales opportunities.
