This month, we caught up with David Hunt, one of accounts team members based at our head office in Bordon. We gave him 20 questions and an hour to have a think and revert back to us with his answers.

Each month we will be putting these or a similar set of questions to another member of the IPM team, giving you a little more insight into the people that make up IPM.

We have begun a research and development collaboration with Microsoft to explore a shared vision for the role of technology in high performing workplaces.  A new programme themed around connected and smart workplaces will see IWFM and Microsoft collaborate on new research that could influence workplace performance.

Today ( 28/10/19) the Government has responded to a petition to ‘stamp out tool theft with the introduction of tighter regulation & greater fines‘ which currently has over 30,220 signatures.

In the UK and USA Hallowe’en is often seen as a fun tradition involving fancy dress, trick-or-treating and pumpkin carving. The celebration of Hallowe’en has a long, chilling history which dates back to the Celtic festival of Samhain, where bonfires and costumes were used to celebrate on the evening before All Saints Day, also know as All Hallows, which became Hallows Eve, and eventually Hallowe’en!!

This year our landscape department have arranged pumpkin carving events at various client’s properties for their tenants and staff to attend. We have been undertaking these events for a number of years and they have grown in popularity.
