What Fieldway Group does

Fieldway Group is a UK-based fire safety and electrical services contractor founded in 1999 in Liverpool, structured around two specialist divisions: Fieldway Compliance (active fire protection, passive fire works, design/installation/maintenance, supplies, and security and automation) and Fieldway Consulting (fire engineering, fire door inspections, fire consultancy, and fire risk assessments). The company serves primarily social housing providers (housing associations, local authority ALMOs) with secondary exposure to healthcare, education, public buildings, and commercial construction, delivering integrated multi-discipline fire safety and electrical services under a single contractor model.

The business operates a B2B go-to-market built on long-term framework agreements, holding preferred supplier status on 13 national and regional procurement frameworks including Procure Plus, Fusion21, NHS SBS, LHC, and YPO. Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring managed services contracts (fire alarm, emergency lighting, dry riser, AOV servicing and inspection) and project-based installation and remediation works (compartmentation, fire door upgrades, EICR programmes). Operational technology includes the OneTrace works management system for survey documentation, compliance tracking, and quote generation. Fieldway holds a dense certification stack (BAFE, FIRAS, CHAS, Constructionline Gold, SSAIB, NIC EIC, ISO 9001, ISO 27001) that functions as a regulatory moat for public sector tender eligibility.

In June 2026, Fieldway was acquired by Axis CLC Group (backed by HIG Capital) from Foresight Group, which had invested via its Regional Investment Fund in 2018 and achieved a 4.2x return on invested capital. The company employs 101-250 staff and is led by CEO Ray Jones and Managing Director Tony Carden.
