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.
