A leading Irish independent outsourced services company
Founded in 1996, MCR Group is a leading Irish independent outsourced services company. It provides services in security, cleaning, personnel, and engineering with a client base in multi-site businesses across commercial, industrial, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, construction, educational, retail, leisure, and residential sectors. The company leverages its resilient business model with long-standing customer relationships and a strong position in the Irish market, with continued organic growth to be bolstered by M&A opportunities in a fragmented sector.
The value creation plan for MCR is built around four strategic pillars:
1. Expand regional footprint across Ireland and strengthen presence in high-growth sectors
2. Scale life sciences and data center capabilities to capture structural demand
3. Drive margin improvement through procurement excellence and operational efficiency
4. Build a robust platform for M&A and integration to accelerate growth
With Ireland’s economy showing steady growth and strong demand in critical infrastructure segments, our first priority was to consolidate MCR’s leadership in core markets while expanding into adjacent regions. Historically reliant on organic growth, MCR adopted a more proactive approach under our ownership, combining targeted business development with selective acquisitions to broaden its service offering.
We invested in scaling capabilities for life sciences and data centers—two sectors with significant long-term tailwinds—while introducing new services such as landscaping to deepen client relationships. Operationally, we focused on procurement optimization and process digitization to improve margins and enhance service reliability.
To support future growth, we strengthened MCR’s integration capabilities and developed a clear M&A playbook, positioning the company as a consolidator in its fragmented market and strategically entering the UK.
On the organizational side, MCR grew its team while preserving its strong culture, implemented world-class IT systems, and reinforced governance structures to enable sustainable scaling. These initiatives collectively underpin our ambition to transform MCR into Ireland’s leading multi-service provider with a resilient, diversified platform for continued expansion.
