A family-owned office cleaning company has held talks with an American private equity firm connected to ex-Tesco boss Sir Terry Leahy about a takeover, sources said.
It is understood that OCS, which also provides security guards to shopping centres and catering for office canteens, is working with advisers from Lazard on strategic options , which could lead to a sale of a stake in the business.
OCS was founded as The New Century Window and General Cleaning Company by Frederick Goodliffe in 1900.
OCS is still family-owned, so any deal could crystallise a hefty pay-out for family members
A decade later his three sons – Gilbert, Tom and George – joined the company and today fifth generation relatives still work at OCS, which has remained in Goodliffe family ownership.
