Kier

Kier will release its annual results on Thursday and the big bets are split over which way the numbers will go.

The value of the contract top 50 recovered in April after a miserable March – driven in part by a dominant display from Kier.

“I don’t know about you, but my school was nothing like this.”

In Coventry Kier is building a brand new materials engineering centre for Warwick Manufacturing Group, an academic department of the University of Warwick.

Kier reported a healthy rise in half-year profit and revenue this morning, while pointing to a positive full-year outlook. 

A chance meeting and a flash of inspiration are helping Kier deliver a new hotel as part of a fledgling development just outside Reading.

The firm is employing a never-before-used technique to upgrade an outdated shopping centre. Damon Schünmann went to have a look.

Contract wins among the top contractors grew by nearly a quarter in January year on year, led by Kier’s £595.1m haul.

Kier topped the contractor table for the second time in three months as the festive slowdown dragged overall wins to their second lowest total of 2017.

Kier’s R7 development is just one of a number of live projects under way in the King’s Cross area.
