Sutton replaces Tancred
Gareth Tancred, BIFM CEO, has resigned as BIFM CEO with immediate effect.
BIFM’s board of directors have asked James Sutton to fill the role.
Sutton joined BIFM in 2013 and has been its COO since October of that year. He previously spent over a decade at the Chartered Institute of Marketing.
Gareth Tancred had been at the BIFM for six years, becoming CEO a little over three years ago.
BIFM chairman Julie Kortens thanked Tancred “for the contribution he has made during his time with BIFM, to the organisation and the profession as a whole”.
“Under Gareth’s leadership, BIFM has been transformed into a highly respected and successful professional body on the world stage. Membership has increased significantly across the globe and our industry-leading-qualifications are now being delivered by universities, training schools and industry internationally.”
Welcoming James Sutton to the role, Kortens commented: “We are delighted that James Sutton has accepted the Board’s request to fulfil the role and become our next CEO. We believe he is the right person to take us forward in the next stage of our development. Not only does James have extensive knowledge in working for professional bodies through previous senior positions, he has been instrumental in the development and delivery of BIFM’s long-term strategy.”
James Sutton comments: “I look forward to working closely with our board of directors, executive team, all of our employees and our volunteer community to achieve our strategic goals; to continue to represent and develop the FM profession with support for every career stage as well as championing the value and benefits of FM to business, the economy and wider society.”
