We are delighted to announce that 8build has been appointed to a key construction framework that will support the delivery of London Gatwick Airport’s long-term capital investment programme.
This appointment marks an exciting milestone for our specialist Aviation team and reinforces our growing reputation for delivering complex projects within some of the UK’s most operationally demanding environments. Through this framework, we will have the opportunity to support a wide range of future projects that will enhance passenger experience, improve operational efficiency and help Gatwick Airport meet the demands of future growth.
Our Aviation team has been operating in the sector for seven years, delivering projects across London Heathrow Airport, London City Airport and Gatwick Airport. Working in live airport environments has given us a clear understanding of the operational, safety and logistical constraints involved, and how to manage delivery in a way that maintains continuity for passengers, airlines and airport operations.
Commenting on the appointment, Chris Lawrence, Divisional Director at 8build, said:
“We are incredibly proud to have secured a place on this framework and to continue growing our relationship with Gatwick Airport. Our Aviation team has spent the last seven years building specialist expertise across some of the UK’s busiest airports, and this appointment reflects the hard work, commitment and collaborative approach our people bring to every project. As an existing delivery partner at Gatwick, we’re excited to continue supporting the airport’s future ambitions and helping deliver projects that enhance both the passenger experience and the operational performance of this vital transport hub.”
At 8build, we deliver projects in complex, live environments where careful planning, coordination and sequencing are critical. This includes occupied commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, education estates and major transport hubs. Across all sectors, our focus remains the same: understanding the operational context and delivering safely, efficiently and with minimal disruption.
Our Aviation team brings together sector-specific experience with wider expertise across the business in fit-out, refurbishment and new build delivery. The appointment reflects the strength of our team, our established track record in aviation, and the trust placed in us by clients operating in highly sensitive environments.
We look forward to continuing our work with Gatwick Airport as part of its investment programme, supporting the delivery of future projects that improve infrastructure, passenger experience and operational performance across the airport.
