In addition, OMS prioritises investing in its team through ongoing training and mentoring and having regular meetings to keep everyone informed about the business activities and performance. The team has played a key role in the company’s success and has enabled OMS to navigate multiple challenges over the past 24 years.

Possibly – but one thing is for certain, the company plans to continue growing at an impressive rate. ‘Our aspirations for the future are to continue to grow the business by consistently satisfying and retaining our customers and to build on being a one stop shop for compliance training and consultancy,’ Clive concludes.
