Brij Thankey is the CEO of PrecisionFM, a facilities management company built around a strong emphasis on staff development and workplace culture. Rather than running the business through a conventional top-down hierarchy, he describes his approach as that of a "charioteer" guiding the direction of the company while giving teams room to collaborate and take ownership of their work.
Under his leadership, PrecisionFM has broadened its reach into sectors such as logistics, healthcare, and education, taking on clients including major logistics and industrial groups. The company kept its workforce intact through the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to keep supporting essential-worker industries, a decision Thankey has pointed to as reflecting the company's people-first values.
Thankey has set out an ambitious long-term vision for PrecisionFM, aiming to make it one of the most employee-centric companies in the country. His plans include diversifying into an energy division and eventually taking the business public, with the goal of building durable, long-term career paths for the people who work there.
