Had a call from the 'parliamentary information office'?

Published: 5th February 2010

Some FMA members and some i-FM licence holders have recently received phone calls from this group implying that they are operating in the FM sector with industry association support and endorsement. It's not true.

The 'parliamentary information office' appears to be a term used by a commercial publisher, designed to open doors and sell advertising space.

This venture and any such publications are not endorsed by the Facilities Management Association or by i-FM.

Anyone receiving such a contact might try a Google search. This brings up the word 'scam' even before the search term has been fully entered. Google also provides extensive links to discussions regarding this publisher, its products and ventures into other business sectors.

FMA Director General Chris Hoar said: "We suggest that if you want to spend money on promotion, there are far more effective ways to meet your objectives."
