OCS Ireland named Total FM Service Provider of the Year at FM Awards
OCS Ireland has been named Total FM Service Provider of the Year at the 2026 FM Awards Ireland, one of the most competitive categories in the country's leading facilities management awards programme.
The judges look to recognise the Total Facilities Management provider that has demonstrated the strongest performance across service delivery, innovation, customer satisfaction and business impact over the past 12 months.
For OCS Ireland, this recognition honours the efforts of over 3,000 colleagues across the island, delivering integrated FM services every day.
The past 12 months have been one of the most successful periods in OCS Ireland's recent history. The team achieved notable organic growth by retaining existing contracts through effective performance management, expanding services with current customers and securing targeted new business in sectors where OCS is establishing a long-term presence. Long-standing customer relationships, some lasting nearly two decades, highlight the consistency that supports this growth.
Alongside contract performance, OCS has invested in tools and technology that enhance service delivery and improve customer experience. Smart building technology facilitates demand-driven service and real-time energy management, while digital platforms provide customers with direct access to performance data and a live feedback channel. This transparency has fostered more productive customer relationships and quicker resolution of issues when they occur.
Environmental commitments, including near-elimination of landfill waste from OCS-operated sites, are integrated into daily operations rather than treated as separate initiatives.
"I couldn't be more proud of my team and all of our colleagues across the country,” says Aine Mulcahy MSc, managing director, OCS Ireland. “I'd like to thank every single one of them, our customers and our partners. We're on a mission to make people and places the best they can be, and recognition, like this, tells us we're moving in the right direction. Thank you."
Founded in 1900, OCS is a £3.2 billion integrated facilities management company employing more than 135,000 colleagues worldwide. Headquartered in the UK, it operates nationwide and in Ireland, with a broad international footprint across Asia Pacific and the Middle East. The company delivers hard services, energy management and transition, security, cleaning, catering and additional support services such as landscaping and pest control, to over 8,000 customers across the public and private sectors.
