Facilities management and engineering services provider Elite Group has been acquired by healthcare construction specialist MTX Contracts Ltd.
The acquisition marks an exciting milestone for both companies to support both existing healthcare clients and the wider NHS estate.
The acquisition was completed on 28 November 2025, with Daniel Bowman, formerly Mechanical and Electrical Installations Contracts Director, appointed as Managing Director of Elite Group. Daniel has worked for Elite for more than 16 years.
With the NHS reporting a maintenance backlog valued at more than £16 billion, David Hartley, Managing Director of MTX Contracts Ltd says the combined capability of MTX and Elite presents a significant opportunity to support healthcare organisations in addressing critical estate requirements. The acquisition will allow both businesses to respond to increased demand, share expertise and drive sustainable long-term growth.
He explained: “We are delighted to welcome Elite Group into the MTX family. Their impressive achievements, strong culture and technical capability make them a natural fit for our business. Together, we are well positioned to support the evolving needs of the NHS estate while creating new opportunities for our teams and clients alike. This marks the start of an exciting new chapter for both organisations.”
Elite Group, known for its proactive team, strong technical expertise and commitment to client service, has developed a respected reputation in the FM and small works sector. MTX identified Elite as the ideal partner to complement its existing infrastructure, thanks to the close alignment of culture, service offering and growth ambitions.
