United Living has acquired Peter Duffy Ltd, a civil engineering contractor specialising in water infrastructure. The Wakefield-based business will become part of United Living’s Infrastructure Services division, operating within the expanding water business.
Established in 1972, Peter Duffy Ltd is a family-owned business and brings decades of experience delivering major engineering solutions for water networks.
Following United Living’s acquisition of water solutions provider AFECO in April 2024, this strategic acquisition of Peter Duffy Ltd marks another major step in the group’s commitment to growing its presence in the UK’s water sector, particularly in wastewater services.
Neil Armstrong, chairman and CEO, United Living Group, said: “The acquisition of Peter Duffy Ltd represents another key milestone in our strategy to become a market leader in wastewater infrastructure.
“As the sector enters a period of transformational growth driven by environmental, political, and regulatory pressures, as well as long-standing underinvestment, United Living is well-positioned to be a trusted partner in delivering the sustainable, resilient water infrastructure the UK needs.”
Peter Duffy, managing director, Peter Duffy Ltd, said: “At this critical time for the water sector, with increasing demand for reputable service providers, being part of the United Living Group presents an exciting opportunity to further develop Peter Duffy Ltd’s strong brand and service offering.
“United Living recognises the value of our long-standing history and is committed to building on this foundation to drive continued growth and excellence.”
