VINCI Construction UK is part of the VINCI Group, a world leader in construction and concessions with over a century of experience. Turnover for the year ending December 2010 was €33.4B, with 180,000 employees operating in over 100 countries.

Its projects have included the National Assembly for Wales and the design and build enhancement of the Docklands Light Railway to allow longer trains to cater for London 2012; it is currently involved in major upgrades at King's Cross, Tottenham Court Road and Victoria stations, plus the Connaught tunnels scheme for Crossrail.

The company has strong links with the East Midlands, and recent projects here have included the Newark Newlink distribution facility, L'Oreal distribution centre at Sherwood Park, Nottingham University's Broadgate Park accommodation development in Beeston, Oak Tree Leisure Centre, Materials Recycling Facility and Tesco store both in Mansfield, Leicester Grammar School and The Shires shopping centre also in Leicester. VINCI is currently building 727 student accommodation rooms at the Nottingham Trent University Clifton Campus and the Nottingham Train Station Hub, including the new multi storey car park.

As a construction specialist involved with some of the most complex and prestigious projects in the UK, VINCI understands the importance of collaboration, with clients, subcontractors, suppliers and all those who may be affected by works.

The Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) is a nationally recognised initiative to improve the image of the construction industry. Sites are assessed against a range of criteria, which include good neighbourliness, respectfulness and accountability. As members of the scheme, VINCI consistently achieve above average scores and have won many CCS awards, demonstrating its commitment to safe and considerate working environments. The Clifton Campus Site received an excellent score of 37 out of 40 following the CCS Monitor's visit in February 2011.

Since 2008, VINCI Construction UK has also sponsored the award for the Best Final Year Student on the Civil Engineering Foundation Degree at Nottingham Trent University.

VINCI is committed to local employment and training, and in October 2010 launched a pioneering initiative called Stand Out! Make a Difference in partnership with The Construction Youth Trust, The Duke of Edinburgh's Award and The Prince's Trust.
