United Living in partnership with Constructionline
Together we can offer the best service to our customers at every stage of a project’s delivery and meet company, customer and legal requirements
Aims & Objectives
United Living Group is at the heart of your community. We take pride in helping our clients create places where people enjoy living and we provide the essential services that support daily life. We employ more than 1100 people with a supply chain network of over 2000 resources supporting our projects.
We may work in infrastructure and housing, but our customers aren’t buildings, pipes or wires. We put people first. We listen, we adapt, and we communicate clearly because we understand that when we get it right, people live happier lives. Accustomed to working in safety-critical and public-facing environments, both in urban or rural areas, we are capable of fixing a roof or tap anywhere in the UK with a couple of hours’ notice, upgrading energy assets that manage 20% of the UK gas demands, or providing land and thousands of new homes across the UK. We are large enough to deal with major complex projects and sufficiently agile to make sure we don’t lose sight of what our customers need.
With a passion to deliver a sustainable legacy, we work with our registered provider partners, local authorities, water and energy networks, private developers and supply chain to bring wider benefits including training, local employment and community initiatives. We make it our business to ensure that the people, environments and communities in which we operate are a better place when we have completed our work.
Vision: To be the partner and employer of choice, supporting the increasing demand for high quality, well maintained, sustainable infrastructure and housing.
Mission: We will always aim to fulfil our promise to our customers, shareholders and the communities in which we operate, so that our customer’s assets and the people that use them are in a better place when we have completed our work.
Our company is guided by our strategic priorities, which will help us to achieve our vision:
