The United Kingdom is where our global business was founded and is the beating heart of our interconnected organisation.

With expertise across a wealth of sectors and services, our UK teams have been shaping the country’s landscape since the Gleeds business was set up in 1885, and we’ve worked on some of the UK’s most iconic projects in that time.

In the UK, we’re renowned for our professionalism with personality, having forged closer connections across the built environment since our first office opened in London, over 139 years ago. Our service is synonymous with quality and reliability, and as we’re an independent business, our advice is assuredly free from conflict of interest.  

Our people, and their skillsets, are at the heart of our offering. We work with our talented colleagues to share best practice with our clients, not only from across our UK business but from our offices across the globe.  

Giving back is central to our teams at Gleeds, and wherever possible we engage with local communities to help create a country where every person has the opportunity to thrive.

Bristol

Our Bristol office, home to a dynamic team of 110 professionals, is situated in the heart of the city and was the second Gleeds office to open after London in 1923. Located in the award-winning Aurora building, the office boasts a blend of young talent and seasoned experts. We offer cost and project management, building surveying and advisory services, supported by a finance team that serves the broader Gleeds business.

Historically, the Bristol office has been instrumental in the Temple Quay redevelopment, Redcliffe Quarter and Wapping Wharf mixed-use redevelopment. The office has also enjoyed a 40-year continuous framework engagement with the University of Bristol. Currently, we are collaborating with notable clients such as the University of Bristol, University of Bath, University of Exeter, Renishaw, Dyson, Aardman Animations, Mission Street, and Muse Developments.

Our team supports clients throughout the south west across all major sectors. Some of our current projects include the Al Qasimi Building for the University of Exeter, Cornwall College, the MEPC St Mary Le Port office development, the AEW Debenham redevelopment, and national accounts for the Department of Education and the Ministry of Justice.

We take pride in our strong connections to the city of Exeter, our relationships with clients in Devon and Cornwall, and our longstanding association with the buildings and people of Bristol, the largest city in our region.

In the healthcare sector, we managed the construction of the new Grange Hospital and the extensive refurbishment of Prince Charles Hospital.

In the private sector, our expertise is showcased through collaborations with development partners on award-winning projects such as the new BBC headquarters and the high-quality offices and residential buildings surrounding Central Square and Capital Quarter.

Social value is at the heart of the Cardiff team's approach, as we support local communities with the aim of leaving a lasting positive legacy. We pride ourselves on our ability to adapt to local needs while maintaining a global standard of quality and service.
