“When it comes to facilities management, we know that all businesses, no matter what size or sector, are looking for an increase in efficiencies, a reduction in costs and a better experience for the end user.
But when it comes to the details, every business has different needs. At Ocean, we listen to what our clients really want before we take elements of our service model and apply it in a bespoke or unique way. There’s no ‘one size fits all’ solution. This approach enables us to deliver a consistently high quality service that will add value to your business and support you in a way that’s right for you.”

How we workHow we work
To fully understand your business, to develop new services, and support you as your organisation grows, we believe personal relationships based on mutual respect and honest feedback is the way forward.
It’s why we see ourselves as your partner in business growth, rather than a supplier. It’s what differentiates us from other integrated facilities management providers.
We actively engage with our clients, listening carefully to your requirements, challenges and objectives before developing an integrated service that’s structured around your business.
Then we mobilise the contract by putting a highly experienced team in place including a dedicated account manager, an assistant manager, supervisors and a business unit director (BUD), all empowered by Ocean to deliver exceptional service and industry leading innovative solutions.

HistoryHistory
Ocean was established in 1973 as a private limited company with the primary goal of offering high quality services with a personal, hands-on approach.
ALWAYS MOVING FORWARD
"We are people oriented. And we ensure our people can be the best they can be in all manners or tasks or jobs that they do with us." John Bullivant, Chief Executive
Today, the company is a successful integrated facilities management provider operated by Ocean Group Holdings Ltd with a £25m turnover, five offices across the UK and 3300 staff.
But we’ve never rested on our laurels. We’ve increased the number of services we provide by investing in our people and growing the company organically. Unlike other providers, we don’t take over smaller companies in a bid to grow our portfolio of services. We build from the inside out, listening to the wants of our customers and then ensuring our teams have the necessary skills to deliver.
Our quality management systems, health and safety measures, commitment to the environment and investment in our people have all been recognised by independent bodies. The achievements of our team members have ensured we have held many of these accreditations for several years and are constantly working towards attaining new ones.
