About Mears

 

Mears is a leading provider of services to the Housing sector, providing a
range of services to individuals within

their homes. We manage and maintain around 450,000 homes across the UK and
work predominantly with

Central Government and Local Government, typically through long-term
contracts. We equally consider the

residents of the homes that we manage and maintain to be our customers, and we
take pride in the high levels of

customer satisfaction that we achieve.

 

Mears currently employs over 5,000 people and provides services in every
region of the UK. In partnership with

our Housing clients, we provide property management and maintenance services.
Mears has extended its

activities to provide broader housing solutions to solve the challenge posed
by the lack of affordable housing and

to provide accommodation and support for the most vulnerable.

 

We focus on long-term outcomes for people rather than short-term solutions and
invest in innovations that have a

positive impact on people's quality of life and on their communities' social,
economic, and environmental wellbeing.

Our innovative approaches and market leading positions are intended to create
value for our customers and the

people they serve while also driving sustainable financial returns for our
providers of capital, especially our

shareholders.
