Are estates and facilities teams in the public sector ready for AI adoption?

AI is gaining traction across healthcare and local authorities, but readiness is mixed. Many organisations are still working with legacy systems, fragmented data, and tight operational pressures that make large-scale adoption challenging.

Facilities management sits at the centre of this shift. Teams oversee complex estates where efficiency and compliance are critical, yet digital maturity varies widely.
Bellrock’s recent study reflects how wide the gap is: 99% of estates leaders say their current FM model isn’t fit for the AI era. While interest in AI is high across NHS trusts and local authorities, adoption is still in its early stages. Many recognise the value of tools like predictive maintenance and improved asset visibility but lack the infrastructure and data foundations to fully scale them.

With rising costs and growing demand, AI is quickly moving from optional to essential. The real question is no longer if it will be adopted, but how ready organisations are to make it work effectively.

Global supply chains face growing cyber risk

New insights from Supply Chain Digital highlight a widening vulnerability across supply chains, with 43% of businesses experiencing a cyber breach or attack in the past year.

With attackers increasingly targeting third-party suppliers, limited visibility remains a critical risk, with only 15% of organisations assess immediate supplier risks, and even fewer look beyond that.

For the public sector, this reinforces the importance of strengthening supply chain resilience and investing in talent skilled in cybersecurity, risk management and procurement.

Building secure, transparent supply chains is essential for keeping organisations functioning.

200 miles in one day

Last week, the team at Castlefield Recruitment came together to complete the Greater Manchester Ringway - a 200-mile challenge achieved collaboratively across the business.

The route was split into sections, with small teams taking on different stages until the full distance was completed. From countryside trails and Peak District climbs to routes through towns and local communities, it was a fantastic team effort from start to finish.

We were fortunate to have the weather on our side, making it an even more enjoyable experience and giving our teams the chance to capture some great moments along the way.

Most importantly, we’re incredibly proud to have completed this challenge in support of our charity partner, Trafford Domestic Abuse Services (TDAS). The work TDAS does to support individuals and families affected by domestic abuse is truly vital, providing safety, guidance and a pathway forward for those in need.

Thanks to the generosity of our network, we’ve raised over £2,200 so far. A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us.
