Amey

What Amey does

Amey Ltd is a UK private limited company headquartered in London, operating exclusively within the UK defence infrastructure and housing services market. The company has heritage dating to 1858, with limited company status since 1921, and employs more than 10,000 people. Its core customer base is the UK Ministry of Defence, delivered through contracts including MODUS Services Ltd for Whitehall facilities management and the Defence Infrastructure Organisation for service family housing refurbishment and heating upgrades.

The company's offering is organised around a 'Connected Intelligence' approach that integrates technology, infrastructure, equipment, operations, and people across three service pillars: operating and sustaining mission-critical capabilities; assuring, optimising, and enabling defence decisions; and strengthening sovereign resilience and defence communities. The Tessera sub-brand is used to differentiate defence-specific capabilities within the wider group, and services extend beyond traditional facilities management into family relocation support and decarbonisation work, including heat-pump installation aligned with UK energy security priorities.

Amey's business model is built on long-cycle UK government framework contracts with the Ministry of Defence and its delivery bodies. Revenue is generated through multi-year facilities management, housing refurbishment, and estate decarbonisation programmes, with revenue predictability anchored by these contracts but exposed to UK defence budget cycles. The customer base is concentrated in a single UK government ecosystem, with no disclosed commercial or non-defence revenue streams.
