OCS has appointed Bob Taylor as Managing Director of Public Sector FM.
Taylor brings over 30 years’ experience the the facilities management industry, and has previously served in key leadership positions at the company including as Chief Operating Officer and, most recently, Chief Customer Officer.
His expertise includes leading large-scale FM operations across the health, justice, central Government, and local authority sectors with a focus on technical performance, commercial control and social impact. Taylor has supported some of the UK’s most critical public sector environments.
Public Sector FM is about people – those we serve and those who deliver.
In his new role, Taylor will lead the global facility services provider’s dedicated Public Sector FM business unit, delivering high-quality facilities management across central Government, healthcare, education, and justice contracts. This division is focused on supporting policy delivery aligned with Government priorities around carbon reduction, estate transformation and operational resilience.
He tells FM Magazine: “Government estates need partners who understand the connection between infrastructure performance, environmental outcomes and the communities these buildings serve. That’s what OCS is delivering – with the right capability, systems and people.
“Public Sector FM is about people – those we serve and those who deliver.
“We’re committed to developing careers, offering apprenticeships, and supporting underrepresented groups into technical roles. That’s how we create lasting social value.”
Taylor has also been a driving force behind The OCS Foundation – launched to address social mobility through initiatives like People Into Work, and now delivering wider social value aligned with both customer and community needs.
As the UK Government continues to emphasise sustainability, supplier resilience and local impact through procurement policy, OCS remains aligned – investing in continuous improvement programmes that support both customer outcomes and colleague development.
Daniel Dickson, CEO – UK & Ireland, OCS, adds: “Bob’s appointment reflects our ambition to be the trusted partner of choice for Government. With his leadership, Public Sector FM will deliver the technically led, safe, and socially impactful services needed across the public estate – now and into the future.”
