Each year, the British Institute of Facilities Management (BIFM) celebrates the accomplishments of the profession during its annual awards dinner. The organization, which has been providing information, education, training, and networking services for over 12,000 facility management FM professionals since 1993, will hold its event on October 12, 2009, at Grosvenor House Hotel, London.
The BIFM Awards recognizes more than just the work that facility managers (fms) do. They identify the evolution of FM as an industry, and the awards categories for this year have been updated to reflect that. The 2009 BIFM Awards categories and nominees are:
