MJF Group Limited

What MJF Group Limited does

MJF Group Limited, trading as MJF Records Management, is a privately family-owned (85+ years, founded 1939) UK independent provider of secure physical document storage and records management services. The company serves UK corporate clients on a horizontal basis, storing over 20 million items of information across a network of owned freehold Mega Centres including a 23-metre-high, 1.5M-box London facility built in 2017. Differentiated service mechanics include scan-on-demand retrieval, bespoke 2-hour delivery, multiple daily drop-offs from 6am to 9pm, and four-hour box processing from arrival.

The underlying technology stack is the proprietary O'Neil cloud platform, accessed by clients via the oneilOrder web portal for 24/7 record access, bespoke reporting, and order placement. Supporting services include project management for complex data-capture exercises (described as handling projects up to 1,000,000 files), corrective-measures services including exception reporting and data cleansing, and a fully maintained tracked vehicle fleet. Commercial credibility is reinforced by ISO 27001:2022, ISO 9001, ISO 45001, ISO 14001, PCI DSS, and Data Protection Act 2018 compliance, plus NACOSS/BS5750-aligned security installations.

The business model is a quote-based, bespoke recurring service model with no publicly disclosed pricing; revenue is described as 'subscription/recurring' for the core document storage stream. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated project teams, on-site delivery, and bespoke programmes 'built to dovetail into client business' — a horizontal corporate segment sold directly with no intermediary channel. Marketing channels are limited to the company website, a single phone line (08000 448 115), and a shared inbox ([email protected]), indicating a low-funnel, high-touch sales motion rather than demand-generation marketing. The company is privately held with no institutional investors or M&A activity disclosed.

Emerging players

• Box, Inc. Cloud content management platform representing the digital alternative to physical records storage. Relevant peer because it competes for the same enterprise spend on records and document management, shifting demand away from physical box storage.
• DocuWare: Cloud document management and workflow automation provider competing for digital records management spend. Relevant as an emerging technology-led alternative to physical storage that erodes MJF's core market over time.

Operates the largest network of records management facilities worldwide, directly competing with MJF for UK enterprise clients needing secure document storage, retrieval and destruction.
• Restore plc: UK-based provider of document management, secure storage, digital conversion and Shred-it services. Direct UK competitor with similar box-storage, scan-on-demand, and digital records services targeting the same UK corporate mid-market and enterprise customers.
• Shred-it (Stericycle): Secure information destruction and records management provider operating across multiple geographies. Overlaps with MJF on secure document handling, retention compliance and end-of-life records services for enterprise clients.
• Crown Records Management: UK and Ireland records management specialist offering secure physical storage, digital scanning, shredding and document management services. Competes head-to-head with MJF for UK enterprise clients with comparable Mega Centre-style storage facilities.
