United Living Strengthens Power Capabilities with Acquisition of Glenelly Infrastructure Solutions

We are pleased to announce the acquisition of a majority stake in Glenelly Infrastructure Solutions, a specialist in power distribution.

Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Hemel Hempstead, Glenelly is known for its expertise in delivering turnkey solutions in the power sector and has built a strong reputation for quality service delivery.

This investment marks United Living’s second strategic expansion in the power infrastructure space, following the purchase of Jones, a leading power distribution and street lighting contractor, in March 2025. Together, these acquisitions significantly enhance United Living’s service capabilities, geographic reach, and customer base within the UK’s power sector.

Glenelly plays a vital role in supporting the UK’s transition to a low-carbon economy, working with distribution network operators (DNOs) to enable critical technologies such as electric vehicle (EV) charging and heat pump installations. Additionally, Glenelly is addressing the sector’s skills shortage through its two specialist training centres, including the only UK Power Networks (UKPN)-accredited facility, training both GIS and UKPN staff. This complements United Living’s investment in its training academy, GTEC, reinforcing a shared commitment to workforce development and operational excellence.

Neil Armstrong, Chairman and CEO of United Living Group, commented:

“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, said:

“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.”
