Al Shirawi FM has become a founding member of the Middle East Facility Management Association (MEFMA) to help promote best practice guidelines in the industry.

The Dubai-based company will contribute to the development of FM across the region at a time when the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) is giving responsibility to owner associations.

“The board of MEFMA has gathered the industry’s leading companies and encouraged a culture of transparency and the sharing of knowledge, so that we can create the very best training programmes and guidelines for best practices,” said MEFMA president Jamal Lootah.

“We are delighted that Al Shirawi has become part of this process and is similarly committed to the standardization and promotion of facilities management in the Middle East.”
