OCS Expands Through FES Acquisition

OCS Group, a global leader in facilities management, has announced its strategic acquisition of FES FM and FES Support Services from Forth Holdings Limited, signaling a significant growth in its Hard Services division in the UK. This acquisition aims to double the size of OCS's Hard Services segment, forming a formidable force with over 4,000 engineers and annual revenues surpassing £600 million. Originating in Scotland, FES FM and its support network have built a reputation for providing superior services across both the public and private sectors. OCS sees this merger as an opportunity to further enhance its service delivery in energy and decarbonization projects, owing to FES's specialized background. The combined entity plans to nurture a robust apprenticeship program, affirming its commitment to community investment and skills development. The deal represents OCS's fifth UK acquisition within a year, underscoring its dedication to strategic expansion and excellence, while also streamlining opportunities within the hard services marketplace in the UK and particularly expanding its presence in Scotland. The acquisition is aligned with OCS's market-leading ambitions and its goal to double its revenue in the UK and Ireland over the next five years.
