Tuning into ‪#‎Brexit‬ FM or Remain FM?




As we enter the final week of campaigning, the nations big dilemma is nearly upon us. Caught between “It’s the Economy stupid!” and “It’s about controlling immigration stupid!” each side of the argument is passionate about their outlook for Britain. But what does it means for the FM industry? We have polarising perspectives here also.

Recruitment challenges post Brexit figure highly in some of the commentary; such as this article from FM World

In contrast the Remain perspective fears little from a “Buoyant” FM sector. Research conducted by BIFM in partnership with i-FM.net and Barclays indicated very little concerns from survey respondents.

It is easy to read the FM industry optimism as either way businesses will continue to focus on what they are good at and the advantages of outsourcing non-core competencies to specialist sector experts is a global phenomenon, whether we are in or out. In reality this referendum will have an impact, if only on how fast the FM industry does grow both here and in Europe.
With the vote pollsters pointing at a close race, neither side is going to easily “clean up” and on Thursday 23rd June a huge part of our world will be watching.
