Keller, the world’s largest geotechnical contractor, has been named Britain’s Most Admired Company in the Heavy Construction Sector 2018, taking top spot for the first time.

Presented by The Rt Hon the Lord Heseltine at an awards ceremony in London last night, Keller was selected for the Management Today award ahead of its peers.

“I am delighted that we have been recognised by our peers as one of the most admired companies in the construction sector. We are very proud of the fact that, every day, people around the world live and work on ground prepared by Keller. Often the first company on a construction site, growth literally starts with us,” says Alain Michaelis, Chief Executive. “Although this recognises us in Britain, Keller is a global company employing some 11,000 people worldwide. This is a great testament to their hard work and I’d like to take the opportunity to thank them for all that they do.”
