Andwis.

What Andwis. does

Andwis Group is a UK-headquartered, HIG Capital-backed network of technical building services firms organised across five operational divisions — Fire & Security, Environmental Services, Lifts & Entrance, Maintenance & Response, and Mechanical & Electrical. The group comprises 18-25+ locally branded operating companies (e.g., Senseco Systems, CPS Building Services, Meesons, Etron, Ascot Doors, Ace Fire & Security, Wessex Fire & Security, Custom Intelligent Security, HESIS, Businesswatch, Rock Compliance, Oracle Solutions, Turnpower, Synecore, MIES, WessexME) that together serve 25,000+ customers with 2,200-3,000+ technical experts, generating £300m+ in revenue.

The company's core technology stack is modest and services-led rather than software-led: a proprietary remote monitoring platform for water, air and asbestos compliance, a group-wide CRM rolled out across 1,800 employees, and a 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre introduced in 2025. The service offering is anchored on self-delivery through in-house accredited engineers rather than subcontracting, with extensive certifications (ISO 9001, 45001, 22301, 27001, 14001, NSI Gold, LPS 1175, FIA, BSIA, ECA, BESA, Constructionline) enabling work in regulated, safety-critical environments.

The revenue model combines professional services (project-based M&E installation, fire and security fit-outs, lift modernisation) with subscription/recurring planned maintenance contracts and 24/7 reactive response across multi-site estates. Customers span Data Centres (NTT), Defence (Ministry of Defence, USAF/RAF), Education (University of Cambridge), Healthcare (NHS), Government (Bedford and Wiltshire Councils), Commercial Real Estate (WeWork, Equans), Energy (Octopus Energy), Retail (Greggs, Pret, L.K. Bennett, Ann Summers) and Life Sciences (Francis Crick Institute, ARM). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales embedded in each operating company, selling directly to organisations with multi-site compliance requirements rather than through third-party channels.

Direct peers

• Marlowe plc: UK-listed group of business-critical services including fire safety, water treatment, air hygiene and occupational health. Andwis's CEO Phil Greenwood led Marlowe prior to Andwis, making it the closest public-market comparable for the platform's roll-up strategy and service mix.
• Bellrock Property & Facilities Management: UK-based property and facilities management group providing hard FM, compliance, and building services to multi-site commercial customers. Competes directly with Andwis in the IFM segment for UK enterprise estates, particularly in M&E and planned maintenance.

Broad incumbents

• Mitie Group plc: One of the UK's largest facilities management and professional services companies, with broad capabilities across security, fire, engineering services, and energy. Overlaps with Andwis's fire & security, M&E and maintenance response offerings but operates at much larger scale with a more diversified service portfolio.
• Equans UK & Ireland: ENGIE subsidiary providing multi-technical building services, FM, energy and security solutions across the UK and Ireland. Listed by Andwis as a customer contact, indicating overlap in M&E and facilities services for large multi-site estates.
• Sodexo UK: Global integrated facility management and food services provider with UK presence in technical building services, maintenance and compliance. Comparable in serving multi-site enterprise customers and government/defence clients, though with broader non-technical service lines.
• Atalian Servest: International FM and technical services group with substantial UK operations covering M&E, security, cleaning and building maintenance. Comparable in multi-site estate servicing and technical compliance, but operates as part of a broader European platform.
• Spie UK: UK arm of European technical services group SPIE, focused on multi-technical FM, electrical/mechanical services and energy efficiency for commercial and public sector clients. Comparable to Andwis's M&E and energy services division.
• EMCOR Group: US-listed provider of mechanical and electrical construction, building and industrial services with UK operations. Comparable in M&E contracting, facility services and critical infrastructure work, though operates globally with different end-market mix.

Regional players

• Vertas Group: Facilities management and building services provider primarily serving the East of England with strong public sector and education customer base. Comparable to Andwis in multi-discipline compliance and M&E service model, but more geographically concentrated.

Others

• Elior UK: UK contract catering and support services group with adjacent facilities and workplace services. Less directly comparable than the FM peers, but operates in similar multi-site enterprise and government contracts where Andwis also delivers maintenance and compliance services.
