Glenelly is headquartered in Hemel Hempstead, and has been trading since 2016 with around 200 employees.

The move marks United Living’s second strategic expansion in the power infrastructure sector following the purchase of leading power distribution and street lighting contractor Jones in March 2025.

Neil Armstrong, Chairman and CEO of United Living Group, said: “The addition of Glenelly complements United Living’s existing geographical footprint, giving us a strong presence across the North West, Yorkshire, London, the South East, and Scotland. This expanded footprint positions us to better serve customers and support the UK’s transition to a low-carbon future.

“This acquisition reflects our ongoing commitment to investing in the UK’s critical utility infrastructure. It builds on our strategic growth across the energy and utilities sector and enhances our capacity to deliver resilient, high-quality services that meet the evolving needs of the market.”

Sean Conway, Managing Director at Glenelly Infrastructure Solutions, added: “Joining United Living is an exciting new chapter for Glenelly. We share a strong alignment in values, particularly around quality, safety, and skills development.

“As part of United Living, we are well-positioned to expand our offering, support the UK’s energy transition, and continue delivering the exceptional service our clients rely on.”
