History

Mitie was founded by David Telling and Ian Stewart as MESL in 1987.[3] It was first listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1988.[3] It merged with Highgate & Job in 1989 and was renamed the Mitie Group.[4]

Their strategy of growth through acquisition has seen Mitie acquire several businesses over the past few years and in 2006 it acquired Initial Security, a leading security business.[5] Following on in 2007 Mitie acquired Robert Prettie & Co. Ltd for £32.7m and incorporated the specialist plumbing, heating and mechanical services business into their Property Services division. In 2008 Mitie continued its acquisitions strategy through the acquisition of Catering Partnership,[6] and DW Tilley. The purchase of DW Tilley allowed Mitie to extend their roofing services nation-wide.[7] 2009 saw the acquisition of Dalkia Facilities Management for £130m[8] to bolster its Technical Facilities Management capability and an expansion into Social Housing with the purchase of Environmental Property Services (EPS) for £38.5m.[9] In 2010, Mitie acquired the integrated facilities management business of Dalkia in Ireland.[10]

Mitie made its first acquisition in the health and social care sector in October 2012 when it spent £111 million on homecare firm Enara.[11] In February 2014, Mitie introduced its new visual identity.[12]

Operations

Mitie stands for Management Incentive Through Investment Equity. Mitie's business model was originally about taking 51% equity stakes in start-up businesses that fell into its broad fields of activity.

Payment was made in a mixture of cash and Mitie shares. The managers usually remained with Mitie after the earn out.[13]

Mitie is now split into: Facilities Management, Property Management, Energy solutions and Healthcare.[14]

The firm admitted in November 2014 that its homecare business was less profitable than expected and that it was struggling to recruit and retain sufficient numbers of care workers.[15]
