The Pattenmakers is one of the historic Livery Companies of the City of London with its origins dating back to the 14th century. In recent years the Company has become the Livery home of the facilities management industry and of professionals from across the built environment sector in addition to its traditional membership from City institutions and the footwear industry.

The Young Manager Award enjoys industry-wide support, including from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), who say: 'RICS is delighted to support the Pattenmakers’ Young Manager Award. RICS promotes the highest professional qualifications and standards and continuing professional development is core to our values.  We hope that this award will enable and encourage the winner to reach their full potential in the facilities management profession'.
