In a joint effort to encourage young people to pursue careers in workplace and facilities management Lexington Reception Services, the Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management (IWFM) and Lloyd’s partnered to offer a behind-the-scenes tour of Lloyd’s building in the City of London.
Darren Cox, senior facilities & stakeholder manager corporate real estate at Lloyd’s, said: “Recruiting young people into the industry is close to my heart. FM offers so many varied career opportunities and I want to make sure that young people have the same chances I had.”
The rising stars of the FM world got to know their peers while networking and enjoying some ‘fantastic’ food provided by chefs from Lexington Catering.
