Axis CLC Group
The Big Construction Diversity Challenge
CLC was founded in 1969 and is a national maintenance & refurbishment provider with 13 UK offices from Plymouth to Newcastle. We serve the Healthcare, Defence, Leisure, Heritage, Commercial and Education sectors. CLC is part of the leading property maintenance group, Axis CLC, offering a complete range of property maintenance services, including responsive repairs, planned maintenance, decarbonisation, compliance and refurbishment services.
Axis Europe was established in 1986 by brothers who instilled a strong diversity culture. Axis was established as a family company which is why Axis’ deep-rooted values have shaped the way Axis work – whether that’s with our clients, people or communities. With honesty, cooperation and respect, Axis is dedicated to building strong partnerships to deliver the results that they need. Axis has 6 locations in the Southeast, Midlands and Merseyside.
CLC was acquired by HIG Capital in 2023, and Axis Europe was acquired in 2024 and we are currently merging to form Axis CLC Group. This complementary merger brings together 2,000 employees to create a company with national coverage and the experience and capability to serve both large and small clients.
Our Group values of Safety, Trust, Customers, Teamwork, Expertise and Impact drive our group and compliment the aims of the Big Construction Diversity Challenge.
Acknowledging and respecting diversity is key to both organisations, and we are bringing a team made up of both organisations to foster links and promote teamworking within both organisations.
Axis CLC group is in the process of merging two strong players in the property maintenance and refurbishment sector. The Big Construction Diversity Challenge provides a great opportunity to bring a team together from both organisations to work together and promote our values and the diverse workforce we employ as we learn from the best parts of each business. This will promote greater teamwork forging links across both parts of the group. The aims of the day, bringing together construction industry leaders to network, foster collaboration and showcase the business benefits attained when a diverse workforce is achieved, fits our combined organisations drive to foster and benefit from a diverse employee population. Both Axis and CLC have strong links to our local communities and our Social Inclusion with volunteering promoted by time off to undertake projects on behalf of charities in the community is complementary to the aims of the Big Construction Diversity Challenge.
