Working with B+K has been excellent and their team gives you confidence that they will deliver a great project. It is also great to report that this construction phase is progressing well and that the B+K Team ethos has continued. HBD will continue to develop the relationship to work alongside B+K on future projects in the North West.

Loyal clients

B+K’s significant professional contribution to the scheme ensured that it was delivered to a very good standard, within budget & on time.

Gethyn Davies
Project Manager, Major Projects Derby City Council

Loyal clients

B+K have impressed from the start of the project with their ‘can do’ attitude which has not diminished over the course of the project. Their performance across all areas of delivery including programme, commercial, and ‘business as usual’ has been exemplary. This is the first project that we have undertaken with B+K and I would not hesitate to recommend them for future projects.

David Smith
Director of Capital Projects, UCLan

Loyal clients

It has been a great experience working with B+K on this project. The quality of the work delivered by the team has been exceptional, and we are extremely satisfied with the commitment and dedication shown to achieve such high standards. The project hasn’t been without its challenges, but our teams have come together and have achieved a brilliant outcome.

Tom Newton
Associate Development Director, Tritax Big Box, Newark

Loyal clients

My experiences of working with B + K have been excellent. They are a very professional contractor and have become very much part of our team. Their policy of promoting apprenticeships with the local community is an excellent idea and is a firm statement of positive CSR and one of the many reasons we at Hilton enjoy a successful working relationship with them. They take pride in the work they produce and I can honestly say it was the best looking construction site that I have seen.

Project Director, Hilton UK, Ireland & NW Europe
