MIG

What MIG does

MIG is a UK-based, privately held specialist construction and engineering group headquartered in Altrincham, Manchester, operating under the parent company Union Four. The group is organised into three wholly-owned divisions: MIG Medical delivers healthcare construction services including medical gas pipeline systems, operating theatre fit-outs, modular ward construction, clinical equipment supply, and M&E consultancy to NHS trusts and other healthcare providers; MIG Mechanical provides plumbing, HVAC, ventilation, air conditioning, heating, and facilities management for commercial and healthcare buildings; and MIG Facades supplies rainscreen cladding, mechanically fixed cladding, brick slips, stone cladding, silicone rendering, and external wall insulation to commercial clients.

The core technology is specialist construction engineering rather than proprietary software — domain expertise in HTM-compliant medical gas pipeline installation, modular off-site healthcare construction, and integrated MEP package delivery — supplemented by a recently launched digital tool, CORE: Interactive Building Services Manager, which coordinates building drawings and services documentation. The company is CHAS-accredited and claims more than four decades of experience, founded in 1984 with roots in the medical industry.

MIG generates revenue through project-based professional services contracts won via tenders, relationships with main contractors, and direct engagement with NHS trusts and developers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is provided on a per-project basis; disclosed individual project values have been in the £200K to £650K range. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting NHS trusts, contractors, developers, M&E consultants, architects, and FM providers across the United Kingdom, with no disclosed geographic expansion beyond the UK and no reported recurring revenue or SaaS component.
