OCS is pleased to announce its successful transition to Pets at Home<\/a>\u2019s new customer fulfilment centre in Stafford. The new Stafford site is a hub for Pets at Home\u2019s UK distribution. It features advanced automation systems designed to support the company\u2019s e-commerce growth. This contract marks another milestone in their 9-year partnership since 2016.<\/p>\n

Cutting-Edge Technology to Support Automation<\/strong><\/h4>\n

OCS will provide key cleaning and hygiene<\/a> services to complement the site\u2019s automation through cobotics and smart water technology. These cobotics are equipped with advanced AI, allowing them to adapt and operate more efficiently. Smart water solutions will be deployed, helping to reduce water consumption while maintaining high standards of cleanliness.<\/p>\n

Local Recruitment and Community Support<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The move to Stafford has created 20 new jobs. OCS prioritise local recruitment, employing both transferred and new colleagues. This ensures a strong connection with the local community and supports local employment.<\/p>\n

Training and Career Development<\/strong><\/h4>\n

All colleagues will receive comprehensive training to operate the new technologies effectively. This ensures that the team are equipped with the right skills to maintain and manage these advanced tools. Training programs will also be offered to enable upskilling and knowledge of the latest innovations in automated cleaning. Additionally, OCS will provide career development opportunities, including an apprenticeship program. This focus allows the team to deliver consistent, high-quality cleaning services while adapting to the evolving needs of the fulfilment centre.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n

\n \u201cIt\u2019s a pleasure to award OCS another contract. They\u2019ve been dynamic in transforming how we approach cleaning within the distribution centre, introducing innovation throughout. Our new cobotic floor scrubbers, for example, have significantly improved cleaning efficiency, allowing colleagues to be redeployed to other priority areas across the distribution centre.
\r\n
\r\nOCS are very easy to work with. It feels more like a partnership than a supplier relationship. From their management strategies and planning to their shop floor colleagues, the collaboration is seamless. Our monthly meetings are informative and detailed, giving us real insight into OCS as a company. I\u2019m thrilled to have them on site for the next few years and look forward to continuing our work together.\u201d <\/p>\n
