The Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) has launched a major survey of its membership and the wider industry to better understand the challenges and opportunities facing building services businesses right across the UK.
The results of the survey, said to be one of the largest ever undertaken by the Association, will feed into a new strategy that will enable the Association to establish priorities and focus resources more effectively.
All those who take part in the survey (which should take 10-15 minutes to complete) will be invited to enter into a prize draw to win one of five £100 Amazon vouchers.
“This is a very important exercise for us as we want to learn first-hand what our priorities should be, the challenges keeping business owners awake at night, and the big opportunities that will power our collective futures,” says BESA President Claire Curran.
“We need to take the industry’s temperature, see where businesses are really struggling and then focus our efforts on the solutions to help them adapt and thrive.”
BESA has built up a database of member and non-member information so it can invite participants from a wide cross-section of the industry. Some of the key topics under focus include the business, technical and diversity challenges facing the industry with a view to supporting the aspirations of wider society, plus the need to make buildings more resilient to change.
“The Building Safety Act is already having a profound impact on our industry, and we have major targets to hit around net zero and cutting energy costs,” adds Curran, “but this is also about supporting the hopes and aspirations of this and future generations. The buildings we live and work in are crucial to our well-being and quality of life.
“I urge everyone to respond to the survey questionnaire so we can better tailor our work to help our businesses create a more resilient, versatile and effective built environment for the good of everyone.”
