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.
