We are pleased to announce that Fabio Goncalves, Assistant Contract Manager on our Salesforce contract, is a finalist in the Young Leaders Award 2024, organised by the Emerging Workplace Leaders Group and PfM magazine.

Fabio has worked hard to reach the final, first submitting a written summary of his career to date and his aspirations for his future in FM, and then facing a tough panel interview with representatives of the Emerging Workplace Leaders group.

Finally, Fabio and the two other finalists were invited to a further nerve-wracking presentation in London where, in front of an audience of 40 FM peers and professionals, they had to elaborate on their ideas for making FM a more attractive career opportunity for young people.

Fabio’s own route into FM is not untypical of many, who fell into FM by accident. While still a graduate studying for a degree in Computer Science (Games Programming), Fabio took a part-time job on the helpdesk of the FM team running events at Ascot racecourse. When he graduated, he kept in touch with the management team and developed in quick order through a series of full-time roles in Q3, to his current position.

Well, now all the hard work is done, and the judges have made their decision. All that remains is for Fabio and the Q3 team to endure the nervous wait until Wednesday November 6^th, when the result will be announced at the prestigious PfM Awards in London. You will find Fabio on the Q3 table with his band of very loud, raucous supporters. Go Fabio!
