Kier, a leading provider of construction and infrastructure services, has announced a new structure for its UK Construction business that will support its ambitions for sustainable growth in its key sectors across England, Scotland and Wales.

The new UK structure consists of five business units including four regional businesses, its maintenance offering, as well as two newly formed functions that will focus on operational excellence and closer alignment to clients and markets, offering a unique approach through digitally-enabled, sustainable solutions.

As the UK’s leading regional builder, the four regional businesses will continue to leverage its extensive regional footprint.

The five UK Construction business units include: London, South & Strategic Projects; Midlands & Eastern; Western & Wales; North & Scotland; and Kier Places.

The two new functions are: Clients & Markets - Louisa Finlay, formerly managing director for Kier’s Regional Building Southern business, will spearhead the newly-formed Client & Markets function; and Operations - Chris Stevens takes up the position as overall operations director for the Construction business.

Liam Cummins, Group Managing Director for Kier Construction, said: “This new structure underpins the delivery of our strategy for sustainable growth over the next five years. With our four regional businesses and Kier Places, we are focused on continuing to position ourselves for growth in our primary sectors and within key geographical locations, further strengthening our position as the UKs leading regional builder.

“The creation of two new operational and client and markets’ functions allow us to unlock further potential in key markets, as well as providing operational certainty for our clients. This revised structure ensures we continue to offer market-leading solutions for our clients and the communities we serve now and in the future.

“This new operating model and senior leadership team puts us in the strongest position to deliver sustainable growth over the next five years.”

Kier Construction delivers over 170 projects each year for central and local Government, regulated and blue-chip private sector clients. 78% of its work is from repeat customers including NHS Trusts across the UK, the Ministry of Justice, the Defence Infrastructure Organisation , the Department for Education and local authorities through frameworks.
