OCS, a leading global facilities service provider, announces that it has acquired Accuro, a UK provider of business-critical facilities management services to the education and healthcare sectors. This strategic acquisition marks a significant milestone for OCS, further strengthening its service offering to the public sector in the UK.
Founded in 2005, Accuro is a provider of high-quality facilities management services to clients across the Midlands, East Anglia, and the North of England. It holds a portfolio of successful, long-term contracts mostly within the healthcare sector. More recently, Accuro has diversified into the education sector with a focus on cleaning services.
The acquisition is OCS’s first since it merged with Atalian Servest’s UK, Ireland and Asia operations following significant investment from private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice earlier in 2023. It represents another significant step toward OCS realising its mission of becoming the world’s premier international facilities service provider and underlines its focus on providing unparalleled facilities services across the UK and beyond.
For Accuro, this deal provides an exciting opportunity for further growth and development. The integration with OCS will create new opportunities for Accuro’s team, paving the way for expanded capabilities and enhanced service offerings. Furthermore, Accuro and OCS share a similar culture and are both driven by a desire to provide the highest quality of service to customers. This alignment in values and commitment to excellence makes the deal a positive fit for both companies.
In addition to acquisitive growth, 2023 has seen OCS deliver on its organic growth targets including significant new business wins such as contracts with the Government Property Agency, Irish Rail, and Royal Parks. OCS remains dedicated to retaining and expanding its prestigious client base while also concentrating on the development of a compelling M&A pipeline into 2024.
