Bovis Lend Lease background
Bovis Lend Lease was created in 1999, after Bovis Construction was acquired by Autralian property company Lend Lease.
In the 1990s, Lend Lease became keen to expand its interests into the northern hemisphere and its first foray into the UK was Bluewater, a £350m shopping centre development in Kent. Bovis was the construction manager for Bluewater, and Lend Lease paid owner P+O £285m to acquire the construction firm.
In 2007, Bovis was ranked the best construction company for parents to work for, and was also named the most considerate constructor of the last 10 years by the Considerate Constructors Scheme.
Major projects Bovis Lend Lease is involved with in the UK include Project SLAM, the creation of 10,000 new accommodation units for servicemen across the UK, and the London 2012 Olympics athletes’ village project for Lend Lease
In 2007, Bovis Lend Lease UK delivered a turnover of £1.1bn (2006: £1bn), but made a pre-tax loss of £52m (£24m). It was ranked 14th in the Contract Journal Top 100, and 5th in the CJ50 league table, which measures forward order books.
The global head of Bovis Lend Lease is Mark Menhinnitt. The chief executive officer of Bovis Lend Lease (UK) is Murray Coleman.
