On the 19th of June the 12th edition of the facilities management Middle East Awards (fmME) will announce its winning selection from the cream of the FM world.
Meet the judges
Key FM CEO, Stan Mitchell and an eclectic mix of industry peers including technical specialists, academics, real estate and property management specialists have come together to independently judge nominations. Stan will be working alongside Abdulla Al Awadhi, director FM and HSE, Tecom; John Stevens, managing director, Asteco; Lara Khozouz, group operations director, Abdali Investment and Development, Jordan; and Saeed Al Fahim CEO, Stratum to ensure that companies that have made a lasting impression on the FM scene in the Middle East are recognised for their efforts. Awards are given out across 15 categories, with trophies for the winners and highly commended entries.
Tarek Nizameddin, senior executive director, Ejadah said: “The FM ME Awards present Ejadah with a great opportunity to establish our commitment to recognising and supporting healthy competition, excellence and innovation throughout the FM industry. This enables Ejadah to align itself with the values and philosophy behind the FM ME Awards and encourage the implementation of state-of-the art technologies and service methodologies in the Middle East Market. The awards showcase success stories and appreciate the industry’s best performers – a principal along which Ejadah operates on a daily basis.” He also acknowledged the cut throat competition in the current FM market but said that the “FM sector is currently one of healthiest sectors in the UAE market. This is due to the increased demand of services with the delivery of mega projects, the approach of Expo 2020 and the inauguration of new destinations in the UAE. However, competition is becoming tougher with the implementation of the cost-reduction approach among the majority of FM clients.”
According to judge Stan Mitchell “FM awards are an essential aspect of promoting our discipline and it’s strategic, tactical and operational potential to add real value to the demand organisations that we serve and the impact we bring.
It is for this reason that I am pleased to be a judge in the Middle East Facilities Management Awards 2019 to assist in showcasing a region that is fast becoming an exemplar in demonstrating Global FM best practice.
The standard of submissions is excellent as are those awards for the many people who are behind those initiatives. I am looking forward to finding out the winners on 19 June.”
