Matthew Lockton, sales director for Compass Group's integrated facilities management business 14forty, has become a Certified-level member of the Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management (IWFM).
The qualification independently validates his extensive, senior strategic experience within the FM sector.
Matthew holds a BA in Hospitality Business Management from University College Birmingham and, as a senior leader at 14forty, has been instrumental in shaping the strategic direction of the business as well as being responsible for creating tailored FM strategies for new and existing clients.
He says: “It’s a great honour to achieve CIWFM status from a body that is widely recognised in the industry.
“This underlines to our clients that 14forty is qualified to create the strategic plans they need.
I’m looking forward to meeting other industry experts to share best practices, which we can apply in our business, and to helping develop the sector together.
With more than a decade of experience in providing facility services, 14forty offers a comprehensive range of bespoke hard and soft FM services to clients across diverse sectors, such as corporate offices, distribution centres, manufacturing plants, and utilities.
The business has also been shortlisted for the Wellbeing and Frontline Hero categories at this year’s IWFM Impact Awards, with the ceremony set to take place in London on 14 October.
