What are your thoughts on the future of FM?

On the short run, we are expecting a strong come back in most industries post the success of vaccine program in the region. This will reflect positively on the FM sector.

Notwithsta­nding the above, Ejadah has witnessed a significan­t unusual growth in the past 12 months by being awarded critical projects with existing and new clients. The two main lessons learnt over the past 12 months that FM companies should focus at revolve around resilience and sustainabi­lity being the main drivers which should refine the mindset of all ecosystem partners.
