- Kier Group plc is a leading UK construction and infrastructure services company that provides building, civil engineering, infrastructure maintenance, and facilities management services to public and private sector clients. The company offers a broad range of services including highways maintenance and improvement; rail infrastructure projects; social housing construction and repairs; educational and healthcare facilities development; environmental services such as waste management; and property maintenance through its Kier Living division, which focuses on affordable housing and private developments. Kier operates primarily in the United Kingdom, with projects spanning England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and serves clients in sectors like transportation, utilities, defense, and local government.
Founded in 1928 and headquartered in Salford, Greater Manchester, Kier Group plc employs over 8,000 people and emphasizes sustainable construction practices, digital innovation, and long-term partnerships through frameworks with public bodies. The company is organized into three main divisions: Construction, Infrastructure, and Property, delivering end-to-end solutions from design and build to asset lifecycle management.
In recent developments, Kier Group secured several major framework contracts in 2024 and 2025, including a £1.1 billion highways maintenance deal with National Highways and extensions to its rail frameworks with Network Rail, strengthening its position in transportation infrastructure. The company completed the acquisition of Mouchel Infrastructure Services in 2023, enhancing its highways and infrastructure capabilities, and launched new sustainability initiatives such as net-zero carbon targets for all projects by 2030. Additionally, Kier reported improved financial performance in its fiscal year ended June 2025, with revenue growth driven by strong order book visibility exceeding £10 billion, and announced strategic divestitures of non-core assets to focus on high-margin services.
