OCS History
History
Back in 1900, the Group was founded as a window and general
cleaning business by Frederick Goodliffe. Although we have changed
remarkably since the start of the last century, our family values and
commitment will always be at the heart of our business. Our values
are heavily influenced by our family ownership, not only in building
a sustainable business for the long term but in running one which
recognises our responsibilities to our many stakeholders.
Family values
We are proud to have been awarded the prestigious “PwC Family Business of the Year” in 2012, as a recognition of our substantial growth into an innovative, modern, international company. Our recent expansion has seen the OCS ‘family’ swell to over 90,000 employees operating in over 40 countries worldwide.
Our family values extend to all our staff, our clients and the
communities in which we do business and are embraced in the Group’s
core values.
Today we have grown into a TFM provider and washroom services
business with a focus on designing sustainable solutions. We deliver
management systems and services which add value to our clients,
increase efficiency and produce environmental and social benefits.
