Philip Hoare
CEO & Director
Good morning, everyone. I’m Philip Hoare, Group Chief Executive of Balfour Beatty, and it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our half year results announcement for 2026. I’m joined today by Myles Westcott, our new CFO, who’s been with us just a few months, but is already having an incredible impact on our business. And I know we’ll all look forward to hearing from Myles a little bit later as he gives us the detail of the results announcement.
But before we start, what a fantastic video. I just love watching images like that of Balfour Beatty because it really typifies the fantastic people that we have within our organization, the depth and breadth of quality that we possess. It goes to the complex projects that we’re delivering around the world. And of course, it goes to the pride that we have in terms of delivering for our customers. So I wanted to start with a huge thank you to all of our Balfour Beatty colleagues.
And so for those of you that are listening now or in the future, thank you so much for your hard work and your commitment because it’s down to you that I’m able to stand here today and talk about our company and the future. So thank
