From Apprentice to MD: A Career Journey in Facilities Management - Careers in FM with Jack Prady

We're excited to share a fantastic conversation for our 'Careers in FM' series with Jack Prady, Managing Director of WPS Facilities Management.


We explore Jack’s journey into facilities management, from starting out as a 16-year-old apprentice to becoming MD of WPS, part of Wates Group.

Along the way, he shares:

  • The value of a strong technical foundation
  • The impact of mentors, coaching & peer networks
  • Building meaningful relationships
  • Finding your purpose - your “why”
  • And the soft skills that matter most: resilience, discipline & integrity

A brilliant conversation with real insight for anyone considering, or already building, a career in FM.
