History

The Bowmer & Kirkland Group (B&K) was established in 1923 as a partnership between joiner Alfred Bowmer and bricklayer Robert William Kirkland.

Since then it has grown to become one of the UK’s most successful, privately-owned construction and development groups. There are 29 companies in the Group most of which are construction-related, although there is a Homeland Security Division, which includes companies based in the UK and USA.

Operations

Group headquarters are at Heage in Derbyshire and there are regional B&K offices in Sunderland, Manchester, Scotland and London. Bowmer & Kirkland employs 1400 people and gained Investors in People accreditation in 2001 and was re-accredited in 2004, 2007 and 2011 demonstrating a commitment to staff and clients. The construction division – which accounts for approximately 80% of turnover, is an Associate Member of the Considerate Constructors Scheme. A sustained commitment to health and safety is proven with numerous Gold Awards from RoSPA and there are established policies for Quality, Management Systems, Ethical Employment, Training and Development, Sustainability and Environment and a Sub-contractors Code of Conduct – helping the supply chain adhere to B&K’s high business standards.

Major Projects

High profile projects include St George’s Park national football centre, in Staffordshire for The FA, Woburn Forest Holiday Village in Bedfordshire, for Center Parcs, Trinity Square in Gateshead – a mixed-use development featuring a Tesco superstore, retail units and student accommodation, for Spenhill Developments and one of the first Olympic legacy projects outside London – Derby’s Multi Sports Arena which includes a velodrome.
