James Cooper - Founder / Director
OCL was set up over a decade ago due to an evident demand within the industry for a reliable, quality and safe contractor.
From the date of our inception we have built a solid company structure around a core loyal workforce. Over 10 years
later I am extremely proud to say that OCL has managed to continue do exactly this. Evolving progressively with even
greater capabilities whilst keeping all our values constant. We still have all the same team in the field that we started
with and they remain motivated and excited as ever to continue with the growth journey. I believe by taking our time
with these foundations including our system integration and development when it is very easy to move too fast that this
has afforded everyone involved to move with us at the exact pace required. I eagerly look forward to the new
challenges and continued growth over the coming years and belive we have a good determined, well balanced team
that will continue to “raise the standards” and successfully fulfill our client requirement.
