Facilities

The OLG Support Facilities department covers a wide variety of responsibilities and tasks to ensure the Group’s buildings and employees can function at full capacity.

Buildings

OLG Support looks after all of the Group’s buildings. We have three in Immingham, one in Hessle and workshops and offices in Grimsby. This involves keeping all building maintenance up to date e.g. security alarm servicing, Electrical Installation Certificates and air conditioning servicing. We deal with all maintenance contracts and negotiate the renewals of these, including any day to day issues such as broken lights or leaking taps to enable our engineers a nice, safe working environment to work in.

OLG Support ensures all works carried out all compliant with any laws or regulations needed for that particular area. Ensuring we have up to date records of the suppliers details and insurances by keeping up to dates records of all service paperwork and certificates.

Travel

As part of our business, our employees require to travel all throughout the UK and sometimes abroad. OLG Support are responsible for booking all travel which includes hotels, hire cars and any rail or flights needed. We use a dedicated travel company and ensure they have all they need e.g. tickets and reservations and contact details if they have any problems.

Insurance

As a company we require a large amount of insurance coverage. From buildings coverage to cyber insurance, travel insurance and the most important, Professional Indemnity Insurance. This process takes a few months and once it is renewed. Throughout the year we may have to contact our brokers to clarify wording or to make a claim.

Our Vehicles

OLG has a fleet of vehicles. We have pool cars at the offices to help engineers go on site or to other offices. We also have vans for our operations workers to go to site for our clients. These vans often travel the whole country. OLG Support ensure the vehicles are all serviced and MOT’s and also deal with any repairs that might be required.
