The UK’s built environment relies on continuous cleaning, hygiene, and safety testing. These services are required across offices, schools, GP practices, logistics hubs, and public buildings, creating stable, contract-driven demand through all market cycles.
Critical Facilities Services is highly fragmented: thousands of owner-operators, limited digital infrastructure, and consistent succession needs. This creates scope for margin uplift and disciplined consolidation under long-term ownership.
We evaluate each opportunity against a structured risk framework: contract durability, customer diversity, labour intensity, regulatory exposure, and working-capital demands. Only businesses with clear downside protection and identifiable improvement levers progress to diligence.
