Axis CLC

What Axis CLC does

Axis CLC is a UK-based provider of property maintenance, repairs, refurbishment, and decarbonisation services, operating through three wholly-owned subsidiaries (Axis Europe, CLC Group, and Concept Building Services) plus the recently acquired Fieldway Group. The group delivers six core service lines: planned maintenance, fire safety and compliance, responsive maintenance, decarbonisation (PAS 2035-compliant retrofitting), building compliance, and refurbishment. It serves social housing providers, local authorities, NHS trusts, the Ministry of Defence, blue light services, commercial clients (Waitrose, Whitbread/Premier Inn), and utilities (National Grid), backed by specialist accreditations including FIRAS, BM Trada, PAS 2030/2035, TrustMark, and National Grid authorisation. Notable contract evidence includes a £15m pa 10-year Clarion Housing contract covering 24,379 properties, a £20m Lewisham Park Towers major investment programme for L&Q, a £9m three-year Leeds City Council decarbonisation programme, and a £5.7m pa National Grid painting contract across 310,400 high-voltage towers.

The company operates a B2B enterprise field sales model securing work through procurement frameworks (including Procurement for Housing's Decarbonisation and Retrofit framework and 13 national/regional frameworks inherited via Fieldway), competitive tendering, and direct client relationships, with contract durations ranging from one-off projects to 25-year PFI partnerships. Pricing is bespoke and contract-negotiated rather than published. Revenue derives from three streams: ongoing managed services maintenance contracts (managed services model), project-based refurbishment and decarbonisation programmes (professional services model), and fire safety/compliance services. The group is privately held and backed by global alternative investment firm HIG Capital, with Foresight Group having exited its Fieldway investment to Axis CLC in June 2026 at a 4.2x return. The corporate identity dates to 2024 as a holding vehicle assembled through acquisition of Axis Europe (August 2024), Concept Building Services (December 2025), and Fieldway Group (June 2026), combining 110+ years of operating company experience under a unified UK property services platform.
