Established nearly 200 years ago, FM is a mutual insurance company whose capital, scientific research capability and engineering expertise are solely dedicated to property risk management and the resilience of its client-owners. These owners, who share the belief that the majority of property loss is preventable, represent many of the world’s largest organisations, including one of every three Fortune 1000 companies. They work with FM to better understand the hazards that can impact their business continuity in order to make cost-effective risk management decisions, combining property loss prevention with insurance protection. Around one-third of FM’s 5000+ employees worldwide are engineers.
FM are corporate partners with WES as we strongly believe that having as diverse and inclusive a workforce as possible is essential for our business, both in terms of our relationships with our clients and in maintaining and developing engaged and happy employees. We are very aware of the under-representation that women have within engineering disciplines and are keen to support initiatives that help to address this and also recognise the important contribution that women make to engineering.
