Miller Knight lays strong groundwork in the first six months of 2025

The multi-discipline principal contractor reports a standout start to 2025 so far, celebrating a landmark first six months, defined by prestigious framework appointments, national award recognition, standout regeneration projects and a deepened commitment to safety, quality and social value.

A major highlight was Miller Knight’s appointment to Fusion21’s national Building Safety and Compliance Framework, affirming the company’s role in helping public sector clients meet evolving fire safety obligations under the Building Safety Act.

In April, the specialist contractor in fire remediation, refurbishment, and compliance-led construction, hosted the Building Safety Forum, featuring keynote speaker Dame Judith Hackitt DBE and a panel of cross-industry experts. Held at Ironmonger’s Hall, London, the event addressed critical challenges in fire safety, sparking discussion on product traceability, regulatory change and the urgent need for better collaboration across the supply chain.

Reflecting on the company’s progress, Managing Director Matthew Flower said: “2025 has been a defining year for us, not just in the projects we’ve delivered, but in the conversations we’ve led. Our team has helped push the industry forward, and we remain committed to raising standards, driving innovation and ensuring the safety of the buildings we work on.”

This year, Miller Knight was shortlisted for multiple industry awards, including Contractor of the Year, Fast Growth Business of the Year and Medium Business of the Year, reflecting both operational excellence and sustained business growth.

The company’s regeneration credentials have continued to grow, with a range of projects across diverse sectors, including the refurbishment of Phoenix House in Birkenhead for Phoenix Futures, involving extensive internal and external upgrades. In Nottingham, the team is delivering a £1 million live-site regeneration of Stapleford Care Centre for FES FM and Meller Limited. Meanwhile, in Mansfield, Miller Knight has been appointed to deliver the £1.3 million Tideswell Court Regeneration for Mansfield District Council, including full residential and communal refurbishments and a new staff office extension.

Another significant development was the addition of Centre Parcs to Miller Knight’s growing client base, further expanding the contractor’s footprint and signalling its growing role in enhancing safety and experience in high-profile, guest-focused environments.

Alongside project delivery, the company continued to exceed its social value targets, partnering with clients such as Ashfield District Council, Moat Homes and MHA to support local employment, skills development and community investment.

Flower concluded: “For us, the impact doesn’t end at project completion. We’re focused on building legacies, ensuring the communities we work in feel a lasting benefit from our presence.”
