History

The company was established in the 1950s as the ground engineering division of GKN plc.[5] In 1960, it expanded into a stand-alone piling and ground improvement company and, in 1975, it acquired the German company Johann Keller and took on that name.[5] In 1984 Keller bought Hayward Baker Inc., a US ground engineering business.[6] In 1990 it was the subject of a management buy-out from GKN plc supported by Candover[6] and it was first listed on the London Stock Exchange in May 1994.[7] In 2006, Keller Group acquired Anderson Drilling, the creaters and owners of the Big Stan drilling rig.[8] In 2007, the company sold its social housing division for nominal consideration;[9] also in 2007 the company acquired HJ Foundation for £24.5 million.[10]

In January 2023, Keller published a profit warning after a "deliberate and sophisticated financial reporting fraud" at Austral Construction.[11][12][13] The estimated impact was £6m related to the first half of 2022, and £8m to £10m relating to prior years. Two directors were dismissed as investigations continued,[14][15] and the company's shares fell 10%.[16] The fraud was described by The Times as "apparently sophisticated".[17] Keller's pre-tax profit for 2022 fell by 17% as a result; it made £56m profit across the year, from a turnover of £2.9bn.[18]

Operations

Keller operates under three divisions and is supported by its group head office:

  • North America: Bencor, Case Foundation, Hayward Baker, HJ Foundation, Keller Canada, McKinney Drilling, Suncoast, Moretrench. With effect from 1 January 2020, these businesses were all branded as Keller and operate as regional parts of a single company.[19]
  • Europe, Middle East and Africa: Central Europe, North-East Europe, North-West Europe, South-East Europe, Franki, French Speaking Countries, Middle East, Iberia and Latin America, Brazil[20]
  • Asia-Pacific: ASEAN, India, Keller Australia and Austral Construction.[21]

The company has been involved in laying foundations for complex projects including High Speed 2 in the UK[22] and the Spirit Tower in Australia.[23]
