OCS has announced a recommended acquisition of Mitie, a move that would create a UK-headquartered international facilities management group with broader sector expertise and geographic reach. The proposed combination brings together two businesses with complementary strengths, a shared British heritage, and an entrepreneurial spirit. The combined group would strengthen support for customers in government, defence, healthcare, national infrastructure, life sciences, and commercial markets by broadening its portfolio of self-delivered specialist facilities services. OCS Group Chief Executive Officer Rob Legge called the milestone an exciting opportunity to build a British facilities management group better positioned to support the organisations that keep the country running, while Mitie Chief Executive Officer Phil Bentley said the recommended offer reflects the strength of Mitie's brand, capabilities, and reputation and delivers value for shareholders. The acquisition remains subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Rule 2.7 announcement.
