Provider
providers were working on a private finance initiative (PFI) or public-private partnership (PPP). This figure was actually higher than that recorded in our 2010 survey, despite more than two years of public sector spending cuts. It follows just 24 per cent of respondents being involved in PFI or PPP in last year’s poll. Almost a third of respondents working for clients – rather than providers – were in regional or multi-site FM roles in 2013. At 33 per cent, this was unchanged from last year. The proportion made up of directors or heads of FM also remained constant at 21 per cent. The remainder of the client-side answers came from single-site FMs (21 per cent), senior FMs (17 per cent) and facilities assistants and office managers (9 per cent). There was a large drop in the proportion of supply-side respondents coming from multi-site operations – from 46 per cent in 2012 to 30 per cent this year. The proportion in operational management roles grew from 21 per cent to 27 per cent over the same period, making the two functions almost equal in terms of representation. Other supply-side respondents came from singlesite operations (11 per cent), business development and sales roles (11 per cent), commercial management (9 per cent), facilities supervisor jobs (8 per cent) and bid management (5 per cent). Of those working on the client-side, 7 per cent were in local government and 6 per cent in central government or non-governmental organisations. Both these figures were down from 9 per cent last year, suggesting public sector cuts are starting to affect FM budgets.

The 2013 survey saw a significant increase in the number of respondents who describe themselves as having attained BIFM associate status (Chart 3); from 20 per cent in 2012, that figure is now 25 per cent. Meanwhile, for the second year in a row, we recorded a drop in the number of respondents describing themselves as having BIFM member-grade status – 55 per cent this year, compared to 63 per cent in 2012. We also saw another increase in the number of certified members taking part, continuing the trend we identified in 2012. As the number of BIFM respondents has stayed relatively constant, it seems that BIFM members are taking advantage of wider membership status possibilities. 37 per cent of respondents also indicated their membership of other professional bodies, with the Institution of Occupational Safety & Health (IOSH) continuing to be the most popular (36 per cent). 15 per cent of respondents also belong to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), while
