New Centres and Corporate Identity for Cannon
As a Company operating from 21 Service Centres across the UK, Cannon have had an ongoing programme of upgrading and replacing Hygiene Service Centres for some years. Having replaced on average one a year, 2006 has been a bumper year with the replacement of Leicester and Eastleigh (with Kings Lynn on target for December).
The new Leicester and Winchester sites continue the policy of co-locating with other Cannon Divisions & OCS Ltd (Cannon's sister Company). Both sites have Waste Management Licences permitting the acceptance of not just hyygiene and clinical waste, but also dental wastes, fluorescent light tubes and batteries. Reflecting Cannon's new Confidential Division, the sites are also registered with The Environment Agency as activities exempt from the need for a waste management licence for the storage of confidential and recyclable wastes. Both sites were existing Industrial Units which have been extensively refurbished to a high standard, and reflect the policy of Cannon/OCS Group to relocate where possible to existing Estates or utilising 'brownfield' sites, rather than relocating to new sites on 'greenfield' developments. OCS Group is one of the largest family owned business in the UK, having celebrated it's 100th Anniversary a few years ago. Extensive amalgamation has already taken place within the Group in the last few years, resulting in the two main Companies both having a wide range of operating Divisions. Further restructuring from January 2007 will combine both within a single company, OCS Group UK Ltd whilst retaining the individual brand names of 'Cannon' and 'OCS'.
