At OLM we are driven by our purpose

To make a positive difference by helping organisations succeed in supporting people and communities to fulfil their potential

About OLM

OLM is different. We are an organisation that is built around our purpose and solid core values, with an anything-is-possible attitude.

We support organisations to deliver a positive difference to people’s lives and their wider communities. We do so by applying our sector knowledge and expertise in technology to create software and services that act as the catalyst for change.

“OLM is not just a tech company, we are a people and ideas business”
Peter O’Hara, Founder and CEO

Delivering the tools professionals deserve

Professionals across the UK do amazing work in supporting people and unlocking their potential. It is not made easy for them to deliver the difference to their clients. They are often hampered by ineffective processes and out of date technology.  Tenacity, perseverance and grit represent the backbone of our society, and we believe that professionals should have the tools they deserve.

At OLM, we put people at the centre of everything we do. We invest and work with our customers to create intuitive software and services that enable professionals to deliver the right support at the right time.

We positively impact professionals, individuals, communities, and society at large
Our secret is the meaningful culture and values that bind us together

Our Values

At OLM, our values flow through everything that we do; they define who we are and what we stand for

Live with Empathy

We strive to see the world through the lens of others, caring about our customer’s goals and each other.

 

Entrepreneurial Spirit

We are not afraid to challenge the status quo. We utilise our experience and curiosity to constantly add value.

Act like a Family

We work with truth, trust and teamwork. Fostering a growth mindset, we collaborate with you to make a difference. 

It’s much more than just a job….
We are OLM Change Makers
