We are pleased to announce our acquisition of Exclusive Services Group, a provider of contract cleaning services operating across the UK and Ireland. This transaction marks our fourth strategic bolt-on acquisition in the last 12 months. This further enhances our cleaning services footprint in key sectors such as education, data centres, leisure, media and retail.
Since it was founded in 1960, Exclusive has established a strong and long-standing reputation for delivering high-quality, customer-centric cleaning services. The integration of Exclusive will support our cleaning division’s current and future growth plans, helping the wider business double its revenue over the next 5 years.
Exclusive has a proven track record in adapting to the evolving needs of the education sector, complementing our existing cleaning service offering, having already acquired Accuro in 2023. Furthermore, Exclusive is a data centre cleaning specialist, a key growth area for OCS, and has strong experience in the leisure sector.
OCS and Exclusive are aligned in their business objectives, culture and values, which will result in a seamless integration of the two businesses. Both companies are committed to delivering the highest standards of service, and this shared focus on operational excellence will benefit customers across a range of sectors. Furthermore, Exclusive’s customers will gain access to OCS’ comprehensive suite of facilities management services, driving operational efficiencies and enhancing service delivery.
The acquisition of Exclusive Services Group, alongside those of Accuro, Abate Pest Management and Profile Security Services, are crucial steps in achieving our goal of becoming the market–leading facilities service provider. This, paired with strong levels of organic growth, including significant new business wins such as the Alstom, Irish Rail and Royal Parks, will enable us to fulfil our target of doubling revenue in the UK and Ireland over the next five years.
Exclusive has earned a strong reputation in the market for the exceptional service it provides to its customers. The addition of Exclusive’s expertise in the education sector and data centres, along with their strong management team, will further strengthen our ability to deliver the best outcomes for customers. This acquisition is a significant step forward for OCS, as we strive to double our revenue in the UK and Ireland over the next 5 years. We are delighted to welcome Exclusive and our future colleagues and look forward to the opportunities this partnership will bring.
