What Last Mile Asset Management Limited does

Last Mile Asset Management Limited, founded in 2016 and headquartered at Hamilton International Technology Park in Glasgow, is a national multi-utility adoption and asset management specialist operating as a subsidiary of Last Mile Infrastructure Group Limited. The company adopts and operates newly constructed electricity, gas, water and heat networks across Great Britain on behalf of Independent Connections Providers (ICPs) and developers, working across all DNO areas and all development types including non-standard and complex schemes. It is regulated by Ofgem as an Independent Distribution Network Operator (IDNO) for electricity, by Ofwat for water and wastewater, and is registered with the Heat Trust for heat networks, with all designed/installed/commissioned networks accredited by Lloyds Register.

The core platform is anchored by two proprietary digital tools: an Asset Adoption Portal that manages the full workflow from quoting through design acceptance, construction, land rights tracking and completion/AV payment, and a Land Rights Portal described as market-leading, operated by a dedicated in-house legal team. Supporting portals handle distributed generation enquiries and embedded capacity registration, and the company runs a 24-hour operational contact centre across water, heat and electricity supply emergencies, plus a Priority Services Register for vulnerable customers. The business has expanded into ambient heat networks through the Last Mile Heat joint venture with Rendesco, including the UK's largest water-source heat network at Welborne Garden Village, and serves marquee projects such as the Moto Tamworth ultra-rapid EV charging hub (the company's one-millionth connection), Buckland Development's Welborne masterplan, and infrastructure partnerships with GRIDSERVE, Actemium, Portsmouth Water and LSBUD.

The business model is a managed-services structure built on regulated long-duration infrastructure. Revenue is generated through asset adoption fees paid by ICPs at project completion plus ongoing regulated revenue streams from owning and operating electricity (350,000+ customers), gas and water embedded networks serving 400,000+ connected customers. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is exclusively direct B2B via regional Business Development Managers and named Account Managers covering North and South UK, supported by a website, LinkedIn presence and selective industry sponsorship (e.g. EVIES awards). The company is privately held with no public funding rounds disclosed and is led by Managing Director Michael Blake.
