OCS acquires Maxim FM

OCS has announced the acquisition of Maxim FM, one of the fastest-growing independent regional facilities management companies in the north east of England. This move represents OCS' sixth strategic transaction in the UK over the last 18 months, strengthening its service offering and expanding its regional presence across key public and private sector markets. It follows on from the acquisition of Scottish facilities management specialists FES FM and FES Support Services, which was announced in December last year.

Founded in 2010, Maxim FM brings an established track record in the education sector, which complements OCS’ market-leading expertise, already bolstered by the recent acquisitions of Exclusive Services Group and Accuro. The move will also see OCS welcoming over 1,100 Maxim colleagues into its operations, further strengthening its public sector cleaning service capabilities across the UK.

‘An exciting opportunity’
Daniel Dickson, chief executive officer UK and Ireland of OCS, said: "Maxim FM has established itself as a trusted facilities management company throughout the north of England and Scotland through its dedication to customer satisfaction. Their expertise in both public and private sector contracts, along with their regional strength, aligns perfectly with our strategic vision for growth.

“We are delighted to welcome Maxim FM’s talented team to OCS, and look forward to working together to build on their success and deliver industry-leading services to a broader range of customers."

Graham Conway, managing director of Maxim FM, added: " Becoming part of OCS presents an exciting opportunity for Maxim FM to leverage the group’s extensive resources and expertise to offer an even wider array of innovative, sustainable solutions to our clients. We are confident this partnership will benefit our colleagues and customers alike, and are thrilled about the future prospects ahead."
