Company

Our focus

We invest, build and maintain across a range of different sectors from education, health, heritage, defence and custodial to highways, rail, aviation, industrial, power and utilities.

Our driving passion

It's our driving passion to create spaces and places that generate opportunity and prosperity.

We have a talented team of 21,000 Kier colleagues who work in a wide range of roles across the UK and from our international offices in the Middle East.

We take pride in bringing specialist knowledge, sector-leading experience and fresh thinking to create workable solutions for our clients on a huge range of projects. No challenge is too great or too small, and at any one time we have around 400 projects on site across the country.

Together we have the scale and breadth of skills of a major company, while retaining that local focus and local pride that comes from never being far from our clients, through a network of over 60 offices spanning across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

We aren’t new to any of this though. Kier is over 90 years old as an organisation. And over the decades we have gone from strength to strength.
