Andrew Hulbert Named New IWFM Chair

Andrew Hulbert Named New IWFM Chair
02 July 2025
 

Founder of Pareto Facilities Management, Andrew Hulbert, will take over as Chair of The Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management from 24 July 2025.

Andrew, who has served as IWFM Deputy Chair for the last four years, will replace Mark Whittaker. 

During his 14 year involvement with IWFM, Andrew has volunteered in various capacities and was, at one time, the membership body’s youngest Fellow. 

He founded FM service provider Pareto Facilities Management in 2014 and co-founded Tomorrow Meets Today. a social enterprise that runs events designed to promote diversity within the FM sector, in 2015. 

He said: “The Institute stands poised for a period of exciting evolution, building upon the solid foundation laid by my predecessor Mark Whittaker… My ambition is to shape a bright future for the Institute, ensuring its continued commercial success, its position at the forefront of industry thinking and its commitment to inclusivity. By doing so, we can maximise the Institute’s value, plus that of professionals, organisations and the sector overall.’ 

IWFM’s CEO, Linda Hausmanis, added: "I am exceptionally grateful to Institute Chair Mark Whittaker who steps down in July after four years’ service. Mark’s intelligent, thoughtful and steadying leadership over this critical period has done much to enhance the Board’s effectiveness and IWFM’s wider impact.  

‘I know his successor Andrew Hulbert… will build on this legacy to move the Institute forward. I look forward to working with Andrew towards positive results for profession, people and planet.”
