United Living Group has acquired family-owned power distribution and street lighting contractor Jones.

Based in the North West of England, Jones is a specialist independent connection provider and also offers a full range of street lighting services for distribution network operators and local authorities.  

This acquisition strengthens United Living’s existing activities in the power market, which have been growing since it achieved National Electrical Registration Scheme (NERS) accreditation in 2024.

Neil Armstrong, chairman and CEO of United Living Group, said: “We are delighted to welcome Jones to the United Living Group.

“They have an excellent reputation for best-in-class service delivery and expertise in providing energy-efficient and smart solutions.

“Jones will enhance our existing power services, and together we will better support the needs of our combined clients and the wider sector.

He added: “Jones focus on recruiting and training talent aligns with our work to bridge the skills gap and ensure an ongoing talent pipeline is maintained to deliver resilient infrastructure fit for the future.

This acquisition continues United Living’s growth in the North and reinforces our commitment to investing in sustainable infrastructure solutions that benefit communities across the UK.”
