UB Infrastructure (UBI) is a dynamic, fast-growing business that’s not just bucking market trends, but actively redefining what’s possible in the built environment. In a sector where productivity has been stubbornly declining, UBI’s tangible outputs are a breath of fresh air, setting new standards for manufactured buildings in infrastructure projects.
Founders Charlie Davies and Ross Chipperfield chose to be disruptive. Pairing their infrastructure experience with modular manufacturing expertise, they created a system that could be delivered quickly and at scale. Their game-changing patented modular building system reflects a deliberate choice to prioritise speed, robustness and sustainability.
Each building is designed to be net-zero and highly energy efficient, using a suite of standardised components – imagine it as a highly advanced flat-pack solution that is easy to deliver, assemble without cranes and manufactured from recycled aluminium. UBI’s solution is already making a visible impact, replacing outdated infrastructure with modern, sustainable buildings that meet the highest industry standards delivering a product with a 60+ year design life and outstanding thermal performance.
UBI is preparing to expand into new sectors and geographies, unlocking the potential to become an international player at pace. And of course, none of this would be possible without its first-class team. UBI’s management and Board bring deep sector expertise, a breadth of experience across industries and a proven track record of scaling early-stage businesses. Their network of advisors and investors is second to none, opening doors and creating opportunities that accelerate growth.
UBI is proof that with the right technology, the right people and the right support, it’s possible to engineer the extraordinary. We’re proud to be in their corner as they scale, disrupt and lead the way to a more productive, sustainable future.
As Charlie puts it, “2026 will be a pivotal year for UBI. With Mercia’s support, we’re building the team and partnerships to take our solution nationwide and into Europe – delivering sustainable, high-quality infrastructure at a scale the sector hasn’t seen before.”
We’re looking forward to working alongside the UBI team as they grow and take their approach to more of the infrastructure sector.
