BIFM Award Winners applauded. 

A packed Grosvenor House Hotel in London on Monday night recognised the achievements of the BIFM Awards 2009 winners.
 
Over 1,200 people from across the FM industry and profession applauded the winners as they took to the stage.
 
The evening was compered by Claudia Winkelman (hot foot from filming Strictly Come Dancing – It Takes Two) with Jon Culshaw from Dead Ringers providing great entertainment.
 
The coveted FM of the Year Award was won by Andy Ratcliffe from Amey. The judges said: "Although well qualified and experienced in both property and facilities management, Andy clearly believes that there is still room and time for learning; he constantly challenges himself and his team to stretch the boundaries of his knowledge and experience to create innovative solutions to business problems and communications.
 
The award for Innovation in Products was presented to Creative Space Management for “Electric Works Sheffield” and was collected by Toby Hyam, Managing Director. Nominations were made from all areas of the FM industry where new products were shown to make an efficient, cost effective running and management contribution to Facilities Management in general. 
 
BIFM would like to thank all those who entered the Awards, the judges who contributed their time and experience and of course the sponsors who made the event possible.
