Message from the Chairman
In the fast and ever-changing world of the 21st century, there is something reassuring about a family and the values it signifies … togetherness, loyalty, trust, consolidation, confidence and, just as importantly, the independence of knowing those strong bonds will never be broken.
That is why, as Chairman, I am proud to say the Bowmer & Kirkland Group is a family – like no other. We stand as perhaps the largest and most successful, privately owned Construction, Engineering and Development group in the UK.
I firmly believe we reached that position by remaining privately held – and we intend to keep it that way. Crucially, that solid foundation enables all the companies and divisions within the group to operate – and flourish – autonomously.
The diversity of the services offered range from civil engineering to steel fabrication, from design and build to bespoke joinery, electrical works to building maintenance and facility management. Our clients, who quickly discover they are the most important part of our ever-growing family, can choose to work on their project with any one of these specialised companies, or in partnership with all of them. We make it easy; the choice is theirs.
We continue to build partnerships through negotiation, partnering and cementing very strong relationships. Quite simply, client satisfaction is the key. Internally – and once more with the client in mind – we have been awarded Investors in People accreditation and have embarked on various procedural and training programmes for our staff. Once again this emphasises our commitment to family values.
I am intensely proud of what we have achieved at Bowmer & Kirkland and the standing we hold throughout the entire construction and civil engineering industries. It is that pride, echoed throughout the family of companies and the staff, that ensures peace of mind for our clients and satisfaction that a partnership with the Bowmer & Kirkland Group is a partnership to last.
John Kirkland OBE
Group Chairman
