Everton Appoints OCS For New Stadium Facilities Management Services
Everton has appointed OCS to provide integrated facilities management services at the club’s new stadium.
OCS, who currently have around 8,000 clients across the UK, Europe, the Asian-Pacific and Middle East regions, have signed a five-year agreement for facilities management solutions for Everton Stadium, including waste management, cleaning and security.
Everton will make the move from Goodison Park to their new home at Bramley-Moore Dock in 2025, and the partnership will see that OCS – with a 120,000-strong global workforce and a proven track record in football stadia and events – will manage and maintain the stadium to ensure it is safe, secure and operates efficiently.
When fully operational, OCS will deploy a team of up to 200 locally recruited people at Everton Stadium for matchday and core operations.
Richard Kenyon, Chief Commercial and Communications Officer at Everton, said: “We are pleased to welcome OCS as provider of facilities management at our new home.
“OCS, which becomes an Official Supplier of Everton Stadium, has a large global client base and a strong track record in facilities management which makes them an excellent partner for us.”
Bruce McDonnell, OCS Private Sector Managing Director at OCS, added: “We are delighted to partner with Everton.
“We have seamless operations in some of the most iconic football stadiums in the UK and we have a proven track record in ensuring the safety and satisfaction of fans, players, and staff alike.
“We know that Everton’s new stadium won’t just be a football stadium, it will be a destination – for music, conferences and other events alike.”
McDonnell added: “We want to embark on a transformative journey together with Everton.
“We want to build something exceptional together, where innovation, community, and operational excellence converge. The future of Everton’s soft services starts here, with us!”
OCS will work closely with Everton to design and deliver a tailored facilities management solution using advanced technologies to increase safety and streamline efficiencies.
