ECJ EUROPEAN Cleaning Journal

In the UK, facilities services provider OCS has acquired Maxim FM in the north-east of England. This is the group's sixth strategic transaction in the UK over the last 18 months and follows its acquisition of Scottish facilities management specialist FES FM and FES Support Services at the end of last year.

With Maxim FM's head office in Sunderland, along with satellite offices in Glasgow, Bradford, and Swindon, and a strong customer base in the North of England and Scotland, this deal will add regional density to OCS' cleaning division it says.

Daniel Dickson, UK & Ireland CEO of OCS, said: "Maxim FM has established itself as a trusted facilities management company throughout the north of England and Scotland through its dedication to customer satisfaction. Their expertise in both public and private sector contracts, along with their regional strength, aligns perfectly with our strategic vision for growth."

Graham Conway, managing director of Maxim added: "Becoming part of OCS presents an exciting opportunity for Maxim FM to leverage the group's extensive resources and expertise to offer an even wider array of innovative, sustainable solutions to our clients."
