What Last Mile does

Last Mile Infrastructure Group Limited is one of the United Kingdom's largest multi-utility infrastructure providers, operating across Great Britain with an estimated 665-800+ employees. The company designs, builds, owns, and manages the "last mile" of utility connections for new residential and commercial developments, delivering electricity, gas, water, wastewater, and heat network infrastructure to housebuilders, property developers, and commercial operators. As of recent reporting, Last Mile has completed over 1 million utility connections and holds an orderbook of approximately 710,000 further connections, positioning it as a scaled national operator in the UK new-build utility infrastructure segment.

The company's service offering spans the full lifecycle of utility connection delivery, from initial design and build through to long-term asset ownership and management. It operates specialized sub-brands including Last Mile Asset Management (ongoing asset management and utility adoption services), Last Mile Heat (low-carbon heat network infrastructure), and Last Mile Water (water utility infrastructure), alongside extensions into adjacent areas such as sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) and EV charging infrastructure. Last Mile is fully owned by Macquarie Asset Management following the 2026 completion of institutional consolidation, and was formed through the unification of Energetics and UKPS under the single Last Mile brand in 2025.

The business model is primarily project-based B2B contracting with UK housebuilders and developers, generating revenue through design, build, and connection fees, supplemented by recurring revenue from long-duration asset management contracts on owned and adopted utility infrastructure. Named enterprise customers include Cala Homes, Cruden Homes, Moto (motorway services operator), Welborne Garden Village, and a 6,500-home airfield redevelopment scheme. The combination of project execution and recurring asset management, combined with Macquarie capital backing, supports a long-cycle infrastructure platform with multi-year revenue visibility tied to the UK housing development pipeline and the energy transition (heat networks, EV charging).

Direct peers

• M Group Services (Morrison Utility Services): One of the UK's largest utility infrastructure services providers, offering multi-utility connections, design-build, and asset management across electricity, gas, water and telecom networks. Direct competitor to Last Mile across the UK new-build connections market.
• Clancy Group: Family-owned UK infrastructure contractor delivering utility connections and networks for water, gas, electricity and telecoms to developers and utility clients. Overlapping customer base and similar design-build delivery model for last-mile utility connections.
• Fulcrum Group: UK multi-utility infrastructure company providing connections for electricity, gas, water and fibre to new-build developments. Directly comparable business model—design, build, own and operate last-mile utility networks for housebuilders and developers.
• Sureserve (Bison): UK group providing utility connections, infrastructure, and compliance services across gas, water, electricity and heat networks. Directly comparable as a multi-utility connections and asset management provider to housebuilders and social housing clients.
• Avove (formerly McNicholas Construction): UK utility infrastructure specialist providing multi-utility connections, design and build services for electricity, gas, water and telecoms to new developments. Comparable scope of last-mile utility services for residential and commercial developers.

Broad incumbents

• Skanska UK: Major UK infrastructure contractor with utility services capabilities alongside roads, rail and buildings. Overlaps on utility infrastructure design and construction but does not specialize in multi-utility last-mile connections for new developments.
• SSE: Major UK utility group operating electricity networks, generation and renewable energy including heat networks. Overlaps with Last Mile on network ownership/management and heat networks, but from a much broader utility operator perspective.
• Balfour Beatty: One of the UK's largest infrastructure contractors with significant utility services exposure (including Energy Assets). Overlaps with Last Mile in design-build of utility connections, but operates across much broader transport and infrastructure portfolios.
• National Grid: Owner of the electricity transmission network in England and Wales and gas distribution networks. Interfaces with Last Mile as the upstream network operator whose last-mile connections the company builds out to new developments.

Others

• Mott MacDonald: Global engineering consultancy advising on utility infrastructure projects. Adjacent to Last Mile as a design and advisory partner for major multi-utility and heat network schemes rather than a direct competitor in last-mile connections.
