We’re pleased to announce that OCS, in partnership with Canary Wharf Management Ltd (CWML), has been shortlisted for the Partners in Cleaning Award at the PFM Partnership Awards 2025.
This nomination recognises a long-standing collaboration that began in 2018 and has grown into a trusted and forward-thinking partnership. Together, OCS and CWML have worked to create clean, safe and welcoming retail environments across the Canary Wharf estate—one of London’s most iconic destinations. With over 70 million visitors each year, the scale and complexity of the site demand consistently high standards and a shared commitment to continuous improvement.
Over the years, our teams have introduced innovative cleaning solutions, enhanced service delivery, and built strong working relationships rooted in transparency and mutual respect. From day-to-day operations to strategic planning, the partnership has focused on delivering value and quality for tenants, visitors and the wider community.
Jen Bates, Sector Managing Director, commented:
“We’re incredibly proud of our partnership with Canary Wharf Management Ltd and delighted to be recognised by PFM. This nomination reflects the hard work, innovation, and trust that have defined our approach from the very beginning. It’s a true testament to what can be achieved through collaboration and a shared commitment to excellence.”
The Partners in Cleaning Award highlights the importance of collaboration in facilities management and celebrates organisations that go beyond contractual obligations to deliver meaningful impact. For OCS and CWML, this recognition is a reflection of the dedication, creativity and professionalism of colleagues across both organisations who make this partnership thrive.
We’re grateful to PFM Group for the nomination, and to every individual whose contributions—whether on the front line or behind the scenes—continue to shape the experience of Canary Wharf for millions of people each year.
