Balfour Beatty Company Profile

Founded in 1909 by George Balfour and Andrew Beatty, Balfour Beatty has grown from its modest beginnings in London to become a leading international infrastructure group. Our early projects included the Dunfermline and District Tramways and the construction of the Churchill barriers during World War II, demonstrating our long-standing commitment to major civil engineering works. As we expanded through the decades, we diversified into motorway construction, property development, and international markets, including our significant projects such as the Jebel Ali Port in Dubai and the acquisition of Heery in the US.

Today, Balfour Beatty operates globally with a robust portfolio of infrastructure and construction projects. Our growth is marked by key acquisitions and the establishment of our presence in new markets, including Hong Kong and the US. We remain dedicated to delivering critical national infrastructure and impactful local projects, embodying the vision and legacy of our founders while continuously shaping the future of infrastructure worldwide.
