E PLAN Group

What E PLAN Group does

E PLAN Group (legal entity EPLAN Energy Ltd) is a family-owned UK mechanical and electrical installation contractor founded in 2013 by two brothers and their father, the Bramall family, and headquartered in Shifnal, Shropshire, with a new headquarters announced at One Charter Court, Wolverhampton Business Park in 2026. The company delivers a full suite of M&E services under one roof: boiler installations and heating system upgrades, servicing and 24/7 maintenance, electrical rewiring, EV chargers, PV solar with battery storage, air source heat pumps and solar thermal, kitchen and bathroom refurbishments, disability adaptations, and decarbonisation/retrofit works under PAS 2035. It serves three primary segments — housing associations and local authorities (Birmingham City Council, Dudley MBC, Sandwell MBC, Walsall Housing Group, Wolverhampton Homes), national and regional housebuilders (Vistry, Redrow, Persimmon, Countryside, Barratt, Crest Nicholson, Lovell, Shropshire Homes), and West Midlands domestic homeowners — and operates predominantly across the West Midlands, Shropshire, Birmingham, and the Black Country.

The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales on the commercial side (tender response, framework agreements, repeat phase business with national housebuilders) and direct-to-consumer on the domestic side (phone, website enquiry, no-obligation survey, quote-based pricing). Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time project installation work (boilers, rewiring, PV, EV chargers, refurbishments), recurring servicing and maintenance contracts (24/7 breakdown, landlord gas safety certificates, power flushing), and managed framework contracts with public sector and housing association clients. The company has developed one piece of proprietary technology, REPLAN, an in-house tablet survey application launched in 2020 that handles radiator sizing, material allocation, photo capture, and installation-ready PDF generation.

EPLAN operates with a 300–400+ directly employed multi-trade workforce (Gas Safe engineers, NICEIC electricians, plumbers, heating engineers, builders, carpenters, tilers, decorators) and a fleet of branded vehicles. It carries the full UK compliance stack for M&E and renewable work — Gas Safe, NICEIC, ISO 9001, Constructionline Gold, MCS, TrustMark, SMAS, Acclaim SSIP, CQMS, IAA, IAAF — and reports 10,000+ cumulative M&E installations. The business is privately held, family-controlled, self-funded, and has no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
