The recent roundtable event co-hosted by Kier Construction and PCE Limited brought together like-minded industry experts from across the construction value chain. The goal? To find more meaningful opportunities to reduce embodied carbon in precast concrete. We need to work together to drive change and make progress quickly. 🎥 Watch Sarah Blackwell and James Franklin talk more about the innovations behind carbon reduction in precast concrete.

Kier has been appointed by London South East Colleges to redevelop its Greenwich campus. As part of the project, which has an overall value of £47m, Kier has been awarded a contract which will see the existing buildings demolished and a state-of-the-art educational facility constructed. Awarded through the Procure Partnerships Framework, the 5,654m² five storey college will provide new facilities that are specifically designed to support learning. Alongside classrooms, there will be wellbeing spaces and a student welfare area, as well as specialist rooms to aid student interests, including a Mac studio, a training kitchen and learning resource centre.

🏆 A huge congratulations to our Livingstone Academy team, who last night won the Construction Project of the Year at the Business South Central South Business Awards. 🏆 Working in partnership with Noviun Architects and using our expertise in refurbishment and new build construction, the team delivered a state of the art campus. Students now enjoy a school that prepares them for success in a digital age. 💻 Well done also to our team at Kimmeridge Court, who were finalists in the same category.

🌱We’re creating green spaces to support veterans to grow. We are really proud of our North East team for their work with LaunchPad, a charity dedicated to supporting armed forces veterans transitioning into civilian life. Graeme and Paul from our aftercare team volunteered their expertise to create a new, accessible space at Launchpad Veterans’s Hollyacre House in Durham. Their efforts in providing a sub-base have paved the way for the installation of a greenhouse, allowing residents to engage in gardening and grow their own fruit and vegetables. Steve Dodd, assistant manager facilities at LaunchPad Veterans, said: “We have decided to name the area ‘Kier Corner’ in recognition of the continued support and hard work the Kier team has put in once again to assist LaunchPad at Hollyacre House. “It's great to look at and has transformed the function of what was a difficult-to-use split-level space. The new, larger levelled area will allow us to install a large greenhouse. This will really help the residents to engage in outdoor activities with the additional benefit of reaping the rewards of the fruit and veg they will be able to grow.” Well done to everyone involved! #KierNorth #VeteransSupport #CommunityProjects #GreenSpaces #Sustainability
