Pareto FM Founder Appointed Chair of IWFM

Pareto FM is pleased to share that our Founder and Vice Chair, Andrew Hulbert, has been appointed as the new Chair of the Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management (IWFM).

Andrew steps into this national leadership role at an important moment for both the Institute and the wider facilities management sector. As FM continues to evolve, with commercial resilience, ESG, tech and ai innovation increasingly shaping the agenda, his appointment recognises a consistent drive to challenge the norm and push the profession forward in a meaningful way.

Speaking on his appointment, Andrew said: “I’m incredibly honoured to be taking on the role of Chair at IWFM. Building on the strong foundations laid by Mark Whittaker, my focus will be on ensuring the Institute’s long-term sustainability, supporting the executive team, and making sure our Board reflects the diversity and breadth of our membership.”

He added: “There’s a clear plan in place for 2025, and I’m looking forward to working with members, volunteers and partners to bring it to life, with a focus on three core areas: strengthening our financial position, deepening engagement with our member and volunteer community, and embracing the technologies and ESG frameworks that are shaping the future of our industry.”

Andrew founded Pareto in 2014, and this role is a natural extension of the influence he’s had over the past decade. While his focus now reaches across the wider industry, he’s always looked for ways to drive progress, bringing fresh thinking and a real desire to help move the profession forward.
