Mountjoy

What Mountjoy does

Mountjoy Ltd is a Portsmouth-headquartered construction, refurbishment, building maintenance, and facilities management contractor operating across southern England (Hampshire, Sussex, Surrey, Dorset, Wiltshire, Berkshire, and the Isle of Wight). Founded in 1992 on the Isle of Wight, the company is a private limited company (registered in England as company number 06009150) and a subsidiary of the Quarr Group. It employs approximately 286 staff across five regional offices and reports turnover of circa £46m. The business delivers four integrated service lines: Construction (new-build and extensions, £100k to multi-million-pound main-contractor projects), Refurbishment Projects (internal and external renovations including heritage buildings), Housing Maintenance (responsive repairs, void refurbishments, and gas compliance for housing associations and local authorities), and Facilities Management (statutory servicing, planned and reactive maintenance, mechanical and electrical works).

Mountjoy's revenue model is overwhelmingly enterprise and public-sector, driven by direct tendering and pre-qualified framework agreements rather than transactional sales. Pricing is quote-based and contract-negotiated, ranging from £100k per annum maintenance contracts to £3.1m construction schemes. The business holds positions on multiple high-value frameworks including Portsmouth City Council Primary Contractor Framework (15,000 social housing properties, 900 corporate assets, 2021–2025), Pagabo Medium Works Framework (national, lots up to £1m), West Sussex County Council Contractors Framework, Hampshire County Council Intermediate Construction Framework 3, and TKAT Asset Management Services Framework. Named customers include the University of Southampton (since 2011), Vectis Housing, Chichester District Council, Hampshire County Council, West Sussex County Council, The Kemnal Academies Trust, Ark Schools, RNLI, English Heritage, and Omega Elifar. Marketing and lead generation rely primarily on tender submissions via [email protected] and community/social-value engagement rather than outbound sales.

Core technology is not publicly disclosed; the company operates as a labour-and-trade-intensive services business using direct employees and vetted subcontractors, with regional fleet capacity and stock vans to maximise first-time-fix rates. Leadership comprises Managing Director Simon Ingram (joined 2005, MD since 2014), Finance Director Dan Carlin (joined 2013, FD since 2014), Maintenance Director Tanya Roxborough (ex-Vinci Facilities Operations Director), and Building Projects Director Duncan O'Rourke (joined 2010). No AI/ML capability, proprietary software platform, venture funding, or acquisition activity is indicated across the source material; growth to date has been organic and framework-led.
