United Living Group, a social and utility infrastructure innovations provider, has announced the acquisition of Jones, a power distribution and street lighting contractor.

Based in the North West of England, Jones is a specialist Independent Connection Provider (ICP) providing DNO services and a full range of street lighting services, covering design, project management, consultancy, installation, and maintenance, on behalf of UK Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) and Local Authorities (LAs). This acquisition strengthens United Living’s existing activities in the power market, which have been growing since it achieved National Electrical Registration Scheme (NERS) accreditation in 2024.

Jones has a long-standing and strong reputation for quality and reliability of service in delivering major projects for its clients. It is also committed to bridging the skills gap and expanding workforce capability, through an internal training programme to bring a new pool of skilled labor into the sector and support increasing requirements from DNOs.
