FAQs
1. Is Marlowe plc still listed on the AIM market? No. Following the unanimously recommended offer by Mitie Group plc in June 2025, Marlowe was delisted from the London Stock Exchange (AIM) later that year to become a private division of Mitie.
2. What happened to the Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) division? In May 2024, Marlowe completed the sale of its GRC software and services assets to Inflexion Private Equity for £430 million. That business now operates independently, with Marlowe's founder Alex Dacre serving as its CEO.
3. Does Marlowe still offer Occupational Health services? No. In September 2024, Marlowe successfully demerged its Occupational Health division, which now operates as an independent public company called Optima Health plc.
4. How does being part of Mitie benefit Marlowe’s customers? The integration allows Marlowe customers to benefit from Mitie's vast scale and "Science of Service" technology, combining specialized TIC expertise with the UK's largest facilities management infrastructure.
5. How do I report a fire or water safety emergency? Marlowe operates 24/7 helpdesks for its TIC clients. Fire and security emergencies should be reported via 0333 010 2000, where engineers are dispatched nationally around the clock.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In June 2025, the Board of Marlowe plc reached an agreement on a unanimously recommended cash and share offer by Mitie Group plc to acquire the entire company. Following the massive £430 million divestment of its GRC division in 2024 and the demerger of Optima Health, Marlowe now operates as a specialized division within the Mitie Group, focusing exclusively on its market-leading Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) business lines.
