Last Mile is one of the largest last-mile multi-utility businesses in the UK.
We understand construction and we know utilities. We take responsibility for the ‘last mile’ of infrastructure that connects developments to wider distribution networks.
Our strong history in gas and electricity connections, deep knowledge of the industry and secure investor backing means we can provide a comprehensive multi-utility solution that includes clean (ground source) heat networks, electricity, water and waste water.
Working through our operating companies UKPS (in South of England and Wales), Energetics (in Scotland, North Wales and the North of England) and our asset adoption business Last Mile Asset Management, we offer a ‘one-stop shop’ for new utility connections.

For more than 20 years, Social Investment Business has funded community businesses with grants, loans and blended finance to help them sustain and grow their vital frontline services.
Across SIB’s portfolio, there has been a focus on asset purchase, management and development to help to secure the long-term future of community organisations. Recent research conducted by SIB’s data team has underlined the importance of assets to community organisations, particular in areas of deprivation. This echoes our previous research on the impact of social investment on the resilience of investees.
Our research has also highlighted the lag faced by the community sector in its transition to net zero compared to the domestic housing sector, with 50% of homes rated EPC C or above, compared to only 44% of community buildings. This drops to 38% of community buildings in the most deprived areas.
We have also found that the position of community buildings compared to other non-domestic buildings has become more precarious since 2016. Although there have been some improvements in the efficiency of assets, the pace of retrofitting and renovation has slowed considerably as the improvement in other nondomestic buildings has picked up.
SIB has begun working towards supporting the sector on buildings and heating through an exploratory programme of work on district heating.
