Membership

As the trade association for the UK FM industry, the FMA is here to help its members in a host of ways that will bring benefits, both direct and indirect, to each business.

Get involved...
The FMA provides a platform for getting involved in this industry at many levels. Work with us to build understanding of FM as a vital business discipline; help in recruiting new young talent by promoting FM education and career opportunities; help shape best practice by sharing your knowledge and experience.

Get represented...
The FMA is the voice of the industry, representing our members' interests to Government, to the CBI's Trade Association Council and to our own sector skills council, Asset Skills. We are working to shape the policies and plans that will shape the future of FM.

Get networking...
