An independent panel of recognised expert judges, drawn from academia, business and broader related sectors determined each winner of the night.

On the judging panel is Eileen Salmon, EMEA workplace programme lead, LinkedIn, commented on the judging process: “The Facilities Management Awards are an excellent way to recognise Best Practice and Innovation in our profession. The work of many workplace and FM professionals often goes unnoticed and only comes under the spotlight when something goes wrong or when a new office opens – as if by magic. I have had the privilege of being a member of the judging panel of the FM Awards for the last three years and have been impressed at how the bar continues to be raised each year. I wish to congratulate everyone who entered the awards and in particular those who are shortlisted and I look forward to seeing the winners announced on January 30th.”
