We were founded in the New Forest, Hampshire, in 1953 by Mr Raymond Brown. We played a significant role in the construction of some of the South’s major trunk roads including the M25, widening the M1 and preparations for the Channel Tunnel.
A civil engineering division was first established in the late 1960s and this ultimately led to the construction company being formed in 1986. Business continued to thrive and in 2007, we constructed the breakwater at Portland that proved pivotal in establishing Weymouth and Portland as the host venue for sailing events at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
In August 2016, the Raymond Brown Group demerged and on 1 September 2017, we changed our name to Knights Brown.
300 people and a turnover of £101m.
Apart from continuing to grow sustainably and profitably, our leadership team is driven by a desire to make Knights Brown a great place to work. This is achieved by putting our people first. We believe that by supporting, engaging, and motivating our employees, we create an environment where everyone can perform at their best, ultimately delivering better outcomes for our customers and each other.
With our employees at the heart of our business, we are committed to delivering a service that gives our customers confidence that projects will be completed to their expectations by teams who do what they say, deliver on their commitments, and take pride in the work they do. We are people who care about the projects we build and the customers we work with.
