Making Ground: Real stories, real impact At Kier, Making Ground isn’t just about providing jobs—it’s about creating opportunities that make a lasting difference. Over the past few weeks, we’ve shared Nick and Sean’s inspiring stories of growth and opportunity. Now, we’re excited to share a new video highlighting the broader impact of this initiative and spotlighting other powerful stories. Making Ground goes beyond employment, playing a crucial role in supporting individuals released from custody by addressing potential barriers they may face when re-entering society. These programmes make a real difference—not just for individuals, but for their families and the communities we serve. At the same time, initiatives like this are helping us diversify our workforce and enrich our skills base. 🎥 Watch the video To find out more about the impact Making Ground is having, please follow the link in the comments.

🌿 Kier partners with Sunbelt Rentals UK & Ireland to drive carbon reduction We’re pleased to announce Sunbelt Rentals as our official supplier of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuel. This renewable fuel will replace c.3 million litres of diesel in our operations over the next 12 months, reducing Scope 1 carbon emissions by 6,000+ tonnes and improving air quality. The same emissions as from Kier vans driving 15 million miles. HVO is a key transition fuel, supporting our Building for a Sustainable World framework, as we work toward long-term zero-carbon solutions.

His role supporting the delivery of HMP Millsike, a key project Kier Group is delivering on behalf of Ministry of Justice UKhas not only given him renewed confidence but also showcases the powerful role employment can play in rehabilitation and personal growth. 🎥 Watch Sean’s story in our latest case study video to see how the Making Ground programme is about more than just employment – it’s about rebuilding lives and communities through meaningful opportunities with real outcomes.

Inspiring the next generation of innovators. At Kier, we're committed to breaking down barriers in STEM education—showing young people the exciting possibilities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. That’s why our #STEMAmbassadors like Verity Magee are out in schools and communities, sparking curiosity and encouraging the minds of tomorrow. 💡 Hear more from Verity below.

Bridging the skills gap in construction. How Kier’s STEM Ambassadors are inspiring the next generation and growing in their careers. In the UK, the construction industry faces a substantial skills gap, with an estimated 937,000 new recruits needed by 2032. Addressing this shortage is crucial to the future of our sector— and at Kier, we’re proud to be leading the way with attracting, developing and retaining talent. Through our dedicated STEM ambassador programme, we are not only inspiring young people to explore careers in construction but also creating valuable growth opportunities for our own colleagues. Our 140 STEM ambassadors have made a huge impact, engaging nearly 24,000 students in FY24. They deliver hands-on, real-world STEM experiences that encourage essential skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, and technical knowledge - skills that are essential to the construction field. But the benefits go both ways. By stepping up as ambassadors, our people are gaining confidence, expanding their professional networks, and developing leadership abilities that enhance their careers. 🎥 Meet Verity Magee and Max Deans, two of our STEM ambassadors who share why they’re passionate about STEM and how they have grown in their own careers. Supporting these ambassadors is Kierriculum, our educational toolkit, which includes nearly 30 resources designed to make it easy to engage with students across all age groups. From interactive projects to insightful discussions, Kierriculum equips our ambassadors to make a lasting impression. Find out more about Kierriculum use the link in the comments.
