OCS GROUP UK LIMITED
OCS GROUP UK LIMITED is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales with Companies House number 03056469. It was incorporated on 15 May 1995 and its registry status on 29 September 2026 was Active. Its registered office is New Century House, The Havens, Ipswich, Suffolk IP3 9SJ.
The company has been renamed three times. It was incorporated as OCS CLEANING MIDLANDS & NORTH LIMITED, became OCS SUPPORT SERVICES LIMITED on 31 March 2000, then OCS LIMITED on 28 March 2002, and has carried the name OCS GROUP UK LIMITED since 30 June 2006. “OCS” is a facilities-services brand used by many separate registered companies in several countries, so figures published about the OCS business as a whole do not describe this entity; ocs.com is a brand-wide website operated by a different registered company.
Its principal activity, as stated in its own strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2024, is the provision of facilities management services. Core services are cleaning (housekeeping, washroom, periodical, commercial and industrial cleaning, specialist window and high-level cleaning, infection prevention and hygiene), catering, hard services (planned and reactive maintenance and minor construction and refurbishment works), pest control, security (guarding, patrols, CCTV, alarms and access control) and integrated facilities management. OCS GROUP UK LIMITED reports delivering these services across the United Kingdom and Ireland to customers in the corporate, distribution and logistics, education, healthcare, government, manufacturing, retail, data centre, rail, media and broadcast, transport, hospitality, construction and venues and events sectors. Its registered SIC codes are 81100, 81210, 81229 and 82990.
Entity-level figures taken from the company’s own audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 – not consolidated group figures – show turnover of £840.8m, up 46.7% from £573.3m in 2023, operating profit of £48.5m (2023: £28.3m), profit before taxation of £31.0m and net assets of £101.4m. Gross margin fell to 12.0% from 14.0%. The average monthly number of employees, including directors, was 23,880 (2023: 16,696). The company attributes the revenue increase partly to £73m of annualised new business won during 2024 and partly to its purchase of trade previously carried on by other companies. The accounts were audited by Ernst & Young LLP and signed on 29 September 2025.
OCS GROUP UK LIMITED is not listed on any stock exchange and has no ticker. Its accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 had not reached the register when this profile was prepared on 29 September 2026; they were due by 30 September 2026.

Shareholders of OCS GROUP UK LIMITED
One shareholder is disclosed. The confirmation statement made up to 18 December 2025, filed on 19 December 2025, records a single holding of 2,000,001 ordinary shares in the name of OCS UK&I LIMITED (England and Wales, company number 06355228). That is the whole issued share capital, so OCS UK&I LIMITED owns 100% of OCS GROUP UK LIMITED directly. There is one class of share; note 21 to the 2024 accounts records that the ordinary shares carry full voting, dividend and capital distribution rights.
The Companies House PSC register carries the same holder: OCS UK&I LIMITED was notified as a person with significant control on 1 October 2024, in the bands “ownership of shares – 75% or more” and “ownership of voting rights – 75% or more”, and also with the right to appoint or remove directors. The previous registrable entity, OCS GROUP INTERNATIONAL LIMITED (company number 02946849), ceased on 1 October 2024, the date on which it transferred the entire issued share capital of the company to OCS UK&I LIMITED.
The nominal value carried in this profile’s stored ownership record does not match the register. The stored row values the holding at £1.00 per share and £2,000,001 in total. The filed statement of capital shows a nominal value of £0.001 per share and an aggregate nominal value of £2,000.001: on 22 November 2024 the company reduced its issued share capital from £2,000,000 to £2,000 by reducing the nominal value of each ordinary share from £1 to £0.001, and one further share was allotted on 1 December 2025. The share count of 2,000,001 and the 100% figure are correct; the per-share and total values are not.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No natural person is identified as a beneficial owner of OCS GROUP UK LIMITED in any filing reviewed. The disclosed chain ends in a private-equity fund rather than an individual. OCS GROUP TOPCO LIMITED (company number 14111894) is the highest UK company in the chain that prepares consolidated accounts, and its own PSC register carries an active statement, entered on 17 May 2022, that the company knows or has reasonable cause to believe there is no registrable person or registrable relevant legal entity in relation to it.
Two filed statements name the parties above that company, and they are worded differently, so both are given with their dates. Note 35 to the OCS Group Topco Limited group accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025, filed on 4 June 2026, states that its immediate controlling party and parent undertaking is CD&R Madison S.à r.l., incorporated in Luxembourg, and that its ultimate controlling party is Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund XI, L.P., incorporated in the Cayman Islands and managed by CD&R Investment Associates XI Ltd. Note 26 to this company’s own accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 states that at 31 December 2024 the ultimate controlling party was CD&R Associates XI, L.P. and the ultimate parent company was CD&R Investments Associates XI Ltd. No effective ownership percentage is published for any of these parties, so none is calculated here.
Data availability
Shareholder disclosure is full for the direct holder: the United Kingdom publishes the complete shareholder list of a non-traded company in its annual confirmation statement, and the PSC register adds control bands. Beneficial ownership above the UK chain is partial – the Luxembourg and Cayman Islands entities named in the filed accounts are not covered by the UK PSC regime, no individual is named in any register consulted, and the UK publishes control in bands rather than exact percentages.

Officers

Directors and officers of OCS GROUP UK LIMITED
The Companies House officer register for OCS GROUP UK LIMITED, read on 29 September 2026, holds 66 appointments in total, of which 53 have ended. Thirteen appointments are current: twelve directors and one company secretary. The secretary post is held by one of the serving directors, who holds both appointments from 10 August 2023.
All current appointments are natural persons; no corporate director or corporate secretary is recorded. Companies House records the nationality of every serving director as British and the place of residence of every serving director as England; both are register fields rather than inferences. All serving officers use the company’s Ipswich registered office as their correspondence address, which is a service address and not a home address. Appointment dates for the serving directors run from 10 August 2023 to 17 December 2025, with eight of the twelve appointed since November 2024 – a board substantially rebuilt during the reorganisation of the UK business. The same twelve directors and the same company secretary are listed on the company-information page of the annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, signed on 29 September 2025.
Recent officer changes
- Appointment – Jack Domonic Holmes was appointed a director with effect from 17 December 2025 (form AP01 filed 17 December 2025). This is the most recent officer event on the register.
- Appointment – Robert John Taylor was appointed a director with effect from 8 July 2025 (form AP01 filed 8 July 2025). The register also shows an earlier, separate appointment of the same person, which ran from 22 October 2014 to 10 August 2023.
- Termination – the appointment of Ian Leighton Nisbet as a director ended on 31 January 2025 (form TM01 filed 3 February 2025), some three months after it began on 2 November 2024.
Data availability
Officer information for the United Kingdom is full: Companies House publishes current and former officers with role, appointment and resignation dates, nationality, place of residence, a correspondence address and the month and year of birth. It does not publish a separate occupation field for these records, and it does not publish a full date of birth, so neither appears here.
Three defects in the officer data stored against this profile should be noted, all checked against the register on 29 September 2026. First, the stored record holds 56 of the 66 appointments. Second, a serving director, Nicholas David Maggs, appointed on 13 January 2025, is absent from it altogether. Third, the stored record holds Robert John Taylor only as a director who resigned on 10 August 2023 and does not carry his current appointment of 8 July 2025, and it holds four company secretaries, all of them resigned, so it does not carry the company secretary who has been in post since 10 August 2023. Anyone relying on the stored officer cards rather than the register would therefore see no serving secretary and a serving director shown as a former one.

Group Structure
Group structure of OCS GROUP UK LIMITED
OCS GROUP UK LIMITED is not independent. It is the principal United Kingdom trading company of the OCS facilities-services group and sits well down a chain of holding companies. Its immediate parent has been OCS UK&I LIMITED (06355228) since 1 October 2024, when OCS GROUP INTERNATIONAL LIMITED (02946849) transferred the entire issued share capital of the company to it as part of an internal reorganisation. The highest UK company in the chain, and the parent of the largest group for which consolidated accounts are prepared, is OCS GROUP TOPCO LIMITED (14111894), incorporated on 17 May 2022 under the name CD&R MADISON TOPCO LTD and renamed on 24 June 2023. Note 35 to that company’s accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 names its own immediate parent as CD&R Madison S.à r.l., a Luxembourg company.
At 31 December 2024 OCS GROUP UK LIMITED held eight direct subsidiaries, each 100% of the ordinary shares, listed in note 14 to its own accounts; three of the eight are registered in Scotland and two have since been dissolved. The consolidated group above it operates in the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Middle East, South and South-East Asia, Australia and New Zealand; group revenue from continuing operations was £2,658.6m for the year ended 31 December 2025 (2024: £2,222.8m), which is a group figure and not this company’s.
The group accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 also record that OCS Group Topco Limited has guaranteed the liabilities of OCS GROUP UK LIMITED so that it qualifies for exemption from audit under section 479A of the Companies Act 2006 for that financial year.

Recent structural changes
- 1 October 2024 – change of immediate parent. OCS GROUP INTERNATIONAL LIMITED transferred the entire issued share capital of OCS GROUP UK LIMITED to OCS UK&I LIMITED in an internal reorganisation whose stated purpose was to consolidate the group’s United Kingdom and Irish trade and assets into significantly fewer legal entities.
- 2024 – four acquisitions by the company. It acquired Abate Limited and its subsidiary Monitor Pest Control Limited on 28 March 2024, The Exclusive Services Group Limited and its subsidiaries on 31 August 2024, and companies of the FES group together with Maxim Facilities Management Limited on 29 November 2024.
- After 31 December 2024 – partial hive-out. Part of the trade and assets of the hard services and cleaning business units was transferred out of OCS GROUP UK LIMITED into OCS TECHNICAL SERVICES LIMITED (SC220049, formerly FES FM LIMITED) and SPECIALIST WINDOW CLEANING LIMITED (07710927), both companies within the same group.
Data availability
Corporate-linkage information is full for the chain above this company and for its direct subsidiaries, because United Kingdom companies file both a PSC register and a subsidiary-undertakings note in their accounts. It becomes partial at the Luxembourg and Cayman Islands levels, where the filed UK accounts name the entities but publish no ownership percentages, so no effective indirect percentage has been calculated here. Relationships shown reflect the latest filings available on 29 September 2026: this company’s own accounts to 31 December 2024 and the group accounts to 31 December 2025, each checked against the live register.
Three points about the underlying data on this page. The corporate tree stored against the profile matches the filed accounts on the points that concern this company, including all eight direct subsidiaries and the Luxembourg company at the top of the chain, which is unusual enough to be worth saying; but it carries no ownership percentages at all, so nothing in it distinguishes a wholly owned company from a partly owned one, and the percentages in the table above come from the accounts instead. It also shows Abate Limited and OCS Group Pension Trustees Limited as current subsidiaries and gives several companies their former names, both corrected above. Separately, the number 21225768 that appears in this page’s web address is the data provider’s internal record identifier, not a registration number: the company’s registration number is 03056469, which resolves at Companies House to the registered name OCS GROUP UK LIMITED.
