Enterprise specialises in managing a blue collar workforce to provide outsourced maintenance services to public sector and utilities clients. The business has a unique service delivery model, providing the majority of its services through a franchised blue collar workforce rather than direct labour, thereby increasing operational efficiency.

The company works with large organisations across the UK such as British Telecom, Thames Water, Severn Trent, Liverpool City Council, Westminster City Council, Northern Gas Networks and the Ministry of Defence.

Enterprise has an annual turnover of around £1bn and is growing rapidly. With 40 years of industry experience, supported by almost 10,000 employees and 170 sites across the UK and Ireland, it is the trusted, long-term partner for many organisations.

Enterprise aims to grow organically and by acquisition in both the utilities and public sector markets.

The market for providing repair and maintenance services to the utilities sector has an estimated annual total expenditure of £10bn, driven by regulatory requirements. Enterprise aims to continue to grow in this market by leveraging its position, which combines the lowest-cost provision with high levels of service.

The public sector is increasingly outsourcing its blue and white collar activities to third parties to drive increased efficiencies and reduce operating costs. Approximately 30% of Enterprise’s £22bn target market is outsourced, offering further scope for future growth. Enterprise works in partnership with central and local government to deliver the appropriate range of services in each market.
