As leading support partners to the British Forces, we’re involved in everything from training fighter pilots and engineers to maintaining warships, refitting submarines and building aircraft carriers.

We design, build and manage baggage handling systems for the world’s airports, and provide infrastructure, networking and transmission solutions for the global communications industry.

We’re working with hundreds of schools to help learners, teachers and communities fulfil their potential, and with energy companies to deliver high voltage power across the country.

We enable the emergency services to maintain peak efficiency by looking after their vehicles, equipment, facilities and training. In the nuclear sector, our in-house expertise delivers complex solutions across every specialist area.

We also work with major public and private sector clients to manage their estates, buildings and assets. Elsewhere, we’re the largest conventional rail track renewals company in the country and the UK’s largest independent provider of vocational training.
