Our Story · Unity in Plurality · Since 2012
Founded in July 2012 by nurses Aaron Axiaq and Claire Bellizzi in a small 3-room former pet shop in Mosta, Uniplural Group Ltd has grown into a leading Maltese group of 300+ professionals spanning Care, Early Years Education (Żugraga), Further & Higher Education (Uniplural Academy), Corporate & Facilities Services, and Boutique Hospitality (The Beach House & The Dove & Olive).
Plural Vision · One Group
Five interconnected pillars operating from GPL Business Centre, Triq l-Għadam, Zone 1, Central Business District, Birkirkara CBD 1060.
How It Started · July 2012
Founders and Directors Aaron Axiaq and Claire Bellizzi believe that every member of the community deserves access to holistic care and services that respect their privacy, dignity, and independence in the comfort of their own environment.
After 16 years working as an Intensive Therapy Unit (ITU) nurse at St Luke’s and Mater Dei Hospital, Aaron Axiaq partnered with fellow nurse Claire Bellizzi in July 2012 to fill a critical gap in community care in Malta. Starting with just 3 to 5 employees in a tiny 3-room former pet shop in Mosta — which they painted, furnished, and renovated themselves — they set out to build a trusted community one-stop-shop.
Within a single year (2013), the company opened its first childcare centre in Il-Fgura and grew to around 50 employees, prompting a move to larger offices at St Philip Building, Triq Sciortino, Ħaż-Żebbuġ. As the Group expanded into cleaning services (2017), accredited further and higher education (2019), and hospitality (2023), headquarters relocated in July 2022 to GPL Business Centre, Birkirkara CBD 1060.
Our journey · 2012–2026
Drag through the years. Every milestone lands on the real map, in the town where it happened, from a 3-room former pet shop in Mosta to five divisions working across Malta today.
Today · 2026
Five divisions, 300+ people and seven Żugraga centres, still growing together and still supporting Hospice Malta through our butterfly campaign across every centre.
Malta, since 2012
