Two leading International Facilities Consultancy and Training organizations have announced the signing of an agreement to work together on global projects that will provide advice to the facilities management and business support services sectors.

Agents4FM, whose expanding operations cover Europe and the Middle East, has teamed with a leading U.S. business, Facility Engineering Associates (FEA).

The leaders of both companies are well known across the globe in the facilities marketplace. Members of the alliance consist of Lionel Prodgers, Dave Wilson, CFM, Teena Shouse, CFM, IFMA Fellow, Chris Hodges, P.E., CFM, IFMA Fellow, and Jim Whittaker, P.E., CFM. These distinguished individuals have held leadership positions that include board, Deputy, and Chairmanships in BIFM, EuroFM and IFMA, Chairmanship of Global FM, board member of the APPA Board for Educational Facilities Professional Certification, and IFMA Qualified Instructors.

The co-operation agreement covers advisory services and training, with FEA leaders already approved training instructors for IFMA across North America, and Agents4FM having its own specialist training business, Training4FM.

Each business will trade independently and retain its own identity, but they will co-operate closely to develop business opportunities and new service solutions.
