What PN Daly does

PN Daly Ltd is a privately held, UK-based independent multi-utility connections provider founded in 1966 and headquartered in Milnrow, Rochdale, with a regional office in Lichfield. The company designs, engineers, constructs, installs and maintains gas, water, electricity and telecommunications networks for residential developments (15 to 3,000+ houses), commercial and industrial sites, and EHV transmission and renewable grid-connection projects up to 400kV. Its service portfolio is organised across several divisions: Connections – Residential and Industrial/Commercial (gas/water/electric network design and build), the EHV Projects Division (11kV–400kV cable systems for transmission, distribution, BESS, solar and wind including offshore wind with Siemens Energy), Water Efficiency Experts (leakage detection and network management under framework contracts with Thames Water, Southern Water, Affinity Water and Severn Trent Water), Logical Management Services (UKAS-accredited street works core testing laboratory with over 500,000 extractions), Gas Service Cut Offs and Alters (4–6 week guaranteed disconnections for housing associations and local authorities), and Schools Projects. All project management, engineering design and technical consultancy are delivered in-house, supported by an in-house CABWI/CITB/City & Guilds training school, a mobile training unit, and a Scientific Services Department calibrating gas-detection and pressure-testing equipment for third parties including National Grid.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based contracts, competitive tenders and long-term framework agreements rather than product or SaaS sales. Pricing is bespoke and negotiated per project, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting two core markets: the Construction Sector (major national housebuilders such as Barratt, Taylor Wimpey, Persimmon, Redrow, Bellway and David Wilson Homes, plus commercial developers and infrastructure contractors including Balfour Beatty, Laing O'Rourke, Willmott Dixon, Kier and Morgan Sindall) and Statutory Undertakers (gas and water utilities, TNOs and DNOs including SSE, SP Energy Networks, Siemens Energy, Welsh Power and National Grid). Distribution is entirely direct — no resellers, integrators or marketplace channels. The company is accredited under Lloyd's Register NERS to 132kV since 2005, plus GIRS, WIRS, Gas Safe Register, Ofgem OAMI, Achilles UVDB, Constructionline, CHAS, SafeContractor, British Safety Council and BSI ISO 14001, each acting as a procurement gate for tenders with regulated clients.
