There is nothing better for us as a business knowing that everyone in our care goes home each day safe and without harm.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have started a new initiative to reward those who consistently maintain our standards of Health and Safety whilst going about their day to day work tasks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of our operatives, Adrian Pasniciuc was nominated by Alan Howley, our Project Manager at 250 City Road, a project for Berkeley Homes for his continual good working practices and attitude towards working safely. Alan told us that &ldquo;Adrian is a positive guy, always ensures he&rsquo;s working safely, wearing the correct task specific PPE and is keen to provide feedback from an operatives perspective, which we know is invaluable&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have also welcomed a similar scheme being operated by one of our key supply chain members, Encon Insulations Limited. Encon also believe that individuals should be rewarded for working safely. When Jonathon Greenwood of Encon Insulations heard about the good attitude of Adrian he was happy to put him forward as a contender for the Encon safe worker as part of their H&amp;S rewards scheme.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are proud to announce that Adrian&rsquo;s efforts have been recognised and that he is now the owner of a Makita Cordless Drill which was donated by Encon and awarded to him by Jonathon on site last week,.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Health and Safety is a team effort, so as much as this is a great personal achievement for Adrian, it should also be noted that this is a result of positive management from both the OCL Construction Team and Berkeley Homes 250 City Road Project Team.&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A Congratulations to Adrian and all the team, Keep up the good work and Stay Safe!&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description> <pubDate>Mon, 26 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>OCL Facades in Sunday Times Top 100</title> <link>http://www.oclfacades.co.uk/news/2018/04/ocl-facades-in-sunday-times-top-100</link> <guid>http://www.oclfacades.co.uk/news/2018/04/ocl-facades-in-sunday-times-top-100</guid> <description>&lt;p&gt;We are pleased to announce that we have been included within The Sunday Times Top 100 Companies for 2018.&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Profit Track 100 ranks Britains private companies with the fastest growing profits.

Being a Specialist Fa&ccedil;ade Contractor, seeing the horrendous images of the Grenfell Tragedy will always stick with us and will be a constant reminder to ensure we deliver safe fa&ccedil;ade installations, which we will do by providing continual training of our employees and operatives to understand the importance of the design, procurement and installation of safe fa&ccedil;ade systems to ensure we never have to witness another Grenfell.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Boxing Club was actually based on the 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; floor of the Grenfell Tower and was an important focal point for the young people of the local community, the Club has a very strong pedigree and has produced both Olympic and World Champions in the form of James DeGale and George Groves. This new home for the Club, coupled with the new community centre will hopefully give the local residents a place to come together&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Project has also received a royal seal of approval, HRH Prince William, Duke of Cambridge recently visited the project to lend a hand and spend some time with both the local residents and volunteers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We would like to thank all those within our supply chain that have provided us with materials, Siniat, Penlaw, Marley Eternit, Hilti Eurofox, Rockwool, Metsec and say thank you to all our Staff and operatives that have been working around the clock to deliver this project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The BBC are regularly on site filming and the show is due to air over the coming months which will be shown over two episodes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description> <pubDate>Wed, 16 May 2018 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>OCL earn spot on LSE Top 1000</title> <link>http://www.oclfacades.co.uk/news/2018/08/ocl-earn-spot-on-lse-top-1000</link> <guid>http://www.oclfacades.co.uk/news/2018/08/ocl-earn-spot-on-lse-top-1000</guid> <description>&lt;p&gt;OCL Facades were notified recently that we have been identified by the London Stock Exchange as being one of the top 1000 companies to inspire britian.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1000 Companies to Inspire Britain is an annual celebration of some of the fastest-growing and most dynamic small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the UK.

Needless to say we have come along way since those days.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a time when women on site were a rarity and Anita recalls having to work extra hard to earn the respect of her male peers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fast forward to 2019 and women on construction sites are much more commonplace, although it is fair to say that as an industry we still fall far behind in this regard, Anita thinks this is in part down to the way the industry is percieved Quoting her 21 year old daughter &ldquo; Mum working in construction means brick laying?&rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lets squash that myth and tell the next generation about the various career opportunities in this industry. #TellusyourStory&lt;/p&gt;</description> <pubDate>Fri, 08 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Red Nose Day Charity Bake Off</title> <link>http://www.oclfacades.co.uk/news/2019/03/red-nose-day-charity-bake-off</link> <guid>http://www.oclfacades.co.uk/news/2019/03/red-nose-day-charity-bake-off</guid> <description>&lt;p&gt;We decided to have a Bake Off to raise money for&nbsp;Red Nose Day this year,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Such a brilliant cause and we are so proud of our team for&nbsp;stepping up to the task and presenting some outstanding entries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The winners where announced as:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Best Overall - Joe Osborn&amp;#39;s Chocolate Vanilla Cake&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Best Creativity - Elyse Trigwells Construction Digger Cake&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Best Savoury - James Harris&amp;#39;s Sausage Rolls.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;A massive welldone to the winners.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you to everyone who took part and donated, with Special thanks to Elyse for Organising it all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description> <pubDate>Fri, 15 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Glass &amp; Glazing Federation Membership (GGF)</title> <link>http://www.oclfacades.co.uk/news/2019/04/glass-glazing-federation-membership-ggf</link> <guid>http://www.oclfacades.co.uk/news/2019/04/glass-glazing-federation-membership-ggf</guid> <description>&lt;p&gt;OCL are pleased to announce we are now a members of the glass and glazing federation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Being the industry authority the GGF promotes best practice and sets the highest technical and health and safety standards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description> <pubDate>Fri, 05 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Be Sun Safe Initiative</title> <link>http://www.oclfacades.co.uk/news/2019/05/be-sun-safe-initiative</link> <guid>http://www.oclfacades.co.uk/news/2019/05/be-sun-safe-initiative</guid> <description>&lt;p&gt;Summer is coming and so are our UV Detecting wristbandsthat change from colour from white to red to let you know that you need to apply suncream!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remeber: Seek Shade, Apply your sun cream regularly, Keep hydrated.

But my fear is small in comparison to the fear some of soldiers going into the unknown in the knowledge they may not return alive or could suffer life changing injuries in their job.......&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Imagine your life changing overnight. Suddenly, the world you knew is not accessible. You must start from scratch, all over again. This is happening right now. Every day, seven people leave the Armed Forces with life changing injuries. Many struggle, meaning they and their families need specialist help to aid recovery from wounds both visible and hidden.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you to everyone who donated to this great cause.&lt;/p&gt;</description> <pubDate>Tue, 05 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Quality League Table Winner&apos;s &#45; 250 City Road</title> <link>http://www.oclfacades.co.uk/news/2019/12/quality-league-table-winners-250-city-road</link> <guid>http://www.oclfacades.co.uk/news/2019/12/quality-league-table-winners-250-city-road</guid> <description>&lt;p&gt;Excellent achievement for our team at 250 City road for Berkeley&nbsp;Homes, Scoring top of the Quality league table in Novemeber.
