The backing of Balfour Beatty

Every company would relish the backing of a global name like Balfour Beatty. They are the world’s largest fixed rail infrastructure contractor, the UK’s leading road builder and maintainer, and a market leading investor in infrastructure, roads, hospitals and schools projects. Employing more than 27,000 people in 20 countries, they have an order book of £7.6 billion – a record figure that reflects seven consecutive years of growth in profits.

They are so successful because of the way they manage opportunities. And Balfour Beatty Management was one such opportunity. We were the key to their ambition to become a player in the professional services sector, and so capitalise on the lack of UK-based firms that could see a project through from concept to construction and operation.

We have grown considerably since 2003, and now employ more than 300 professionally qualified individuals – including those who joined when Heery International was integrated in to the business in 2004. A pioneer of project management with over fifty years’ global experience, Heery’s strengths and track record have provided an excellent foundation for us in the building sector.
