What Sets ODS Apart?

At ODS, we pride ourselves on delivering more than just exceptional services. Here are the key factors that make us stand out:

  • Community Investment: Unlike many commercial service providers, we reinvest all net profits into local communities. This means every project we complete directly contributes to improving the lives of residents, enhancing local businesses, and creating thriving environments for visitors.

  • Expertise Rooted in Local Government: As a company born out of local government, we have an unparalleled understanding of the standards, compliance requirements, and unique challenges faced by councils. This enables us to deliver solutions that are not only effective but also aligned with public sector priorities.

  • Sustainability at Our Core: ODS is committed to promoting environmental sustainability. From supporting councils in decarbonisation efforts to offering waste management solutions that reduce landfill reliance, we prioritise initiatives that benefit both communities and the planet.

  • Comprehensive Capabilities: With a diverse team of over 600 professionals, we provide a one-stop solution for councils. Our range of services ensures seamless project execution without the need for multiple contractors, saving time and resources.
