Cloud-based security specialists, OLS, proudly celebrated 15 years in business on Thursday 25th July, at The Salutation in Doncaster. Employees, customers, and suppliers were invited to join in the celebrations, and a fantastic evening was had by all.

OLS has come a long way since its inception in 2009, when Ollie Law decided to use his 10+ years’ experience in the security industry to set up on his own as a sole trader. His aim was to provide high-quality, reliable, and professional security services to both commercial and industrial establishments. 15 years on and that is exactly what he’s achieved, a thriving enterprise with an expanding workforce, proudly managing contracts across the UK, Ireland, Europe, and the USA.

From moving into their first multi-serviced office in 2015 with only a handful of employees, to acquiring their very own headquarters, currently based by Doncaster Sheffield Airport, with a Senior Leadership Team and multiple apprentices, OLS have been able to expand their offering, identify gaps in the market for cloud-based technology, and even create their own custom-built cloud-based integration platform, OLS Connect.

Over the years, OLS have achieved various accreditations from some of the security industry’s leading enterprises including being SSAIB accredited for Access Control and CCTV, Safe Contractor accredited, ISO9001 certified, and an Acre Security approved Diamond Partner. Within their 15-year run, they have also won various industry awards including SaaS Company of the Year at the UK Business Tech Awards and SME Employer of the Year at the South Yorkshire Apprenticeship Awards.

Ollie Law, Owner, Founder and CEO of OLS said: “It has been an incredible 15 years for OLS, and our event at The Salutation in Doncaster was the perfect way to celebrate the achievements and progression we’ve made as a team.

It was a wonderful night, and I thank all of OLS’ employees, customers, and suppliers for coming along and making the event so special. We are very grateful; we would not be where we are today if it wasn’t for these incredible people. Moving forward, watch this space. OLS has a lot in the pipeline, and we can’t wait to see what the next 15 years will bring!”
