Descriptiontext

OCS Group is a global facilities services provider headquartered in Ipswich, United Kingdom, operating across 13 countries with approximately 135,000 colleagues serving more than 8,000 customers. Founded in 1900, the company delivers integrated facilities management through two pillars: Hard Services (engineering-led FM, technical services, planned preventative and reactive maintenance, capital projects, and Carbon & Energy Services targeting Net Zero outcomes) and Soft Services (commercial cleaning, security, catering, pest control, waste and recycling, front-of-house and concierge, commercial landscaping, and aviation passenger services including Passengers with Reduced Mobility). The model is self-delivered rather than subcontracted, with technology-enabled remote monitoring, control room operations, and Alarm Receiving Centre capabilities following the March 2026 acquisition of Top Security in Ireland.

The company operates a direct enterprise sales motion, contracting through long-term facilities management agreements with public and private sector organisations across 15 named verticals, with primary sectors including aviation, healthcare, education, data centres, and government. Revenue is generated through managed services contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated based on scope, volume, and contract terms. OCS holds extensive sector accreditations (ISO 9001:2015, RoSPA, JOSCAR, BAFSA, LPCB, NFPA, BESA, UKAS) that underpin eligibility for regulated and critical-environment work.

OCS is privately held and was acquired by the Retail Holding-Amethis Consortium from prior owners Adenia and Proparco in a secondary buyout. Recent strategic activity includes the 2025 acquisition of EMCOR UK (expanding UK hard FM and engineering capacity) and the March 2026 acquisition of Top Security (adding technology-led security capabilities in Ireland). Leadership is led by Group CEO Rob Legge, with Jon Corner serving as Chief Commercial Officer and Peter Seeley as Head of ESG. The company does not disclose revenue, and AI/ML capabilities are not evidenced in the available materials despite a 'technology-led' positioning.
