Press release

30 April 2025

 

United Living Group

 

("United Living" or the "Company")

 

United Living awarded a contract by Liverpool Bay CCS for CO2 Transportation
and Storage in the UK

 

United Living Group, solutions provider to the UK's critical infrastructure,
is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, United Living Energy Limited, part
of its Infrastructure Services business (ULIS), has been selected by Liverpool
Bay CCS Limited (LBCCS), a member of the global energy-tech company, Eni, as
one of the primary contractors to deliver CO2 Transportation and Storage
(T&S) infrastructure. The ULIS project is worth approximately £250
million over a three-year period.

 

This facility will be instrumental in enabling the landmark HyNet CO₂
pipeline, which aims to unlock a low carbon economy for the north west of
England and north Wales. The pipeline will be the first step in unlocking the
benefits and ambitions of the wider HyNet North West project and achieving the
UK's net zero target by 2050.

 

The HyNet CO₂ pipeline will take CO(2) captured by industrial emitters
across the region and transport it through new and repurposed infrastructure
to permanent storage in depleted natural gas reservoirs under the seabed in
Liverpool Bay.

 

ULIS has been chosen by LBCCS to work on the pipeline as part of an
engineering, procurement, installation, and commissioning (EPIC) project. The
pipeline will start in Ince, Cheshire, and ULIS will cover over 34 km of new
pipeline, part of its Infrastructure Services business, in conjunction with 24
km of existing pipeline, which will finish in Point of Ayr, North Wales.

 

LBCCS was granted a Development Consent Order (DCO) in March 2024 by the UK
Government's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero to carry out the
construction, operation, and maintenance of infrastructure to transport CO₂
as part of the HyNet industrial cluster.

 

The transportation and storage infrastructure has the potential to be a major
contributor to the UK's decarbonisation and net zero storage goals. In the
first phase, it will have the capacity to transport 4.5 million tonnes of
CO₂ per year, with the potential to increase to up to 10 million tonnes of
CO₂ per year in the 2030s.

 

United Living is a well-established regional employer that has already created
50 jobs and expects to generate a further 300 roles working on this project
over the next two years. The immediate supply chain will also be generating an
additional 300 roles. This highlights its commitment to developing local
skills and engaging with the community.

 

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

 

"We are incredibly excited about the potential of this CO2 Transportation and
Storage (T&S) infrastructure project and the positive impact it will have
on CO₂ emission reduction. We are acutely aware of the pressing need to
transition to a lower-carbon future and see CCS as a crucial element to the UK
achieving its net-zero target.

 

"This project will also deliver huge benefits to the North West region,
bringing major investment in local skills development, employment
opportunities, and strong growth prospects for local businesses."

About United Living Group

 

United Living Group is a leading infrastructure, construction, and property
services company in the UK. It trades through four main operating pillars:
United Living Infrastructure Services (ULIS), United Living New Homes (ULNH),
United Living Property Services (ULPS) and United Living Connected (ULC) which
collectively provide essential services to critical infrastructure and
property assets, creating a connected, sustainable future for our customers,
employees and the communities in which we work.

 

Its mission is to be the partner and employer of choice for designing,
building, maintaining, and connecting communities and critical infrastructure,
to create a more sustainable and inclusive society.

 

Infrastructure Services, headquartered in Warrington, designs, builds and
maintains critical energy and water infrastructure for the UK's largest
network owners and operators. Its work supports the requirement for innovative
solutions to address the UK's decarbonisation goals, and its processes
minimise environmental and carbon impacts whilst ensuring the safe and
reliable operation of assets. In 2024, the Group acquired Afeco, a leading
independent specialist engineering services and solutions company focused on
the water, marine and energy sectors.

 

New Homes works collaboratively with registered partners, local authorities,
and private developers to provide much-needed high-quality, affordable homes
for people to live and grow.

 

Property Services revitalises homes and communities through the regeneration
of living spaces, breathing new life into neighbourhoods. From delivering
large programmes of work for social housing providers to ensuring the highest
building safety standards, it provides a range of services for public sector
clients.

 

Connected is focused on creating low-carbon, digitally connected communities.
With extensive experience and a proven track record in fixed-line and wireless
telecom infrastructure, the business has more recently entered the power
market, following NERS accreditation in 2024, and is providing comprehensive
power services to meet the evolving needs of modern infrastructure.

 

In June 2024, the Group acquired a majority stake in GTEC, which specialises
in closing industry skills gaps and providing formal qualifications and
retrofit training in the net-zero space across the UK and further afield. The
acquisition also included Heatly, a digital tool that makes heat pump system
design, surveying and installation easier. In October 2024, the Group
acquired PiLON, a leading property services business operating in the social
housing sector.

 

In March 2025, the Group acquired Jones, a leading power distribution and
street lighting contractor based in the North West of England, strengthening
United Living's existing activities in the power market, which have been
growing since it achieved National Electrical Registration Scheme (NERS)
accreditation in 2024.

 

United Living Group is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions and
the complete elimination of single-use plastics by 2030, as part of its
commitment to achieving a more sustainable and circular economy.
