Company History

Balfour Beatty Group celebrating 100 years

Balfour Beatty is a world-class engineering, construction, services and investment business, well positioned in infrastructure markets which offer significant long-term growth.

Balfour Beatty is celebrating its centenary in 2009, as it was founded in 1909 by George Balfour, a Scottish engineer and Andrew Beatty, an English accountant; to finance and develop tram systems, the first, in Scotland.

It is very rare for a company to remain in existence for such a long period of time and to keep its identity throughout. It's even rarer for a company to be engaged in substantially the same kinds of activity over a 100-year period.

Balfour Beatty has always been involved in activities which are, and will continue to be, at the heart of growing economies and which help satisfy basic human needs. The company has always striven to excel in both our technical capabilities and in the service that we deliver to our customers.
