Mitie Group is a UK outsourcing company that keeps buildings and workplaces running. It provides facilities management services such as cleaning, security, maintenance, engineering, waste handling, and workplace support for offices, hospitals, schools, transport sites, and government buildings. In simple terms, it is the outside contractor that many large organizations rely on to run their day-to-day property and support services.

Its main customers are public-sector bodies and large private companies that do not want to handle these tasks themselves. Mitie makes money by winning service contracts and then charging for ongoing work, often under multi-site, long-term agreements. That gives it recurring income tied to labor, site management, and the delivery of specific services rather than to selling physical products.

What makes Mitie’s business model distinctive is that it sits inside its customers’ operations. It does not usually own the buildings it services; instead, it becomes the outsourced operator responsible for keeping them safe, clean, and functioning. That makes the business more about execution, staffing, and contract management than about manufacturing or retail.
