• TClarke plc: UK's largest listed specialist electrical contractor delivering design, installation and maintenance across commercial and industrial sectors; directly comparable on services, customer segments, and project delivery model, though at materially larger scale.
• Clarkson Evans: UK-wide electrical contractor with an in-house apprenticeship programme and directly employed engineers, serving new-build housing, commercial and maintenance customers; highly comparable on talent model and service breadth despite a residential tilt.
• SES Engineering Services: Specialist UK M&E contractor (now part of John Sisk & Son) offering design, installation and maintenance services to commercial, industrial and public-sector clients; directly comparable to Arrow on services and customer mix, with significantly larger operational scale.

Broad incumbents

• Bowmer + Kirkland: Major UK privately-owned construction group with in-house M&E delivery capability across commercial, industrial, retail and education projects; comparable to Arrow on the electrical sub-contracting layer, though the headline business is construction rather than specialist electrical.
• MITIE Group plc: UK's largest facilities management and professional services group with significant electrical installation, maintenance and compliance capability; broader portfolio than Arrow but directly competes for the same commercial and industrial maintenance and retrofit contracts.

Regional players
