2025 End of Year Highlights

As 2025 draws to a close, we reflect on the year that has passed. For us at Barker, 2025 was filled with numerous achievements, challenges, and some incredible new partnerships. The past twelve months have showcased the strength and dedication of our team.

Building Futures Together

At Barker, we are immensely proud of the impact that our work has on communities across the UK. Together, we deliver some significant social value that improves lives and builds stronger futures for all.

Every project we deliver is about supporting communities to solve their biggest problems. Whether this is improving education facilities, driving net zero, or building new homes. It all matters.

In education, we are proud of the work we have done to transform schools, colleges and universities into inspiring places to learn. By improving facilities, we give students the environments they need to thrive, unlocking opportunities for the next generation.

Across the residential sector, our work helps build new homes that bring people together and create vibrant communities, regenerate spaces, and provide safe, sustainable homes for thousands of families.

Through our sustainability and decarbonisation work, we are driving the transition to a low-carbon public sector estate. Cutting emissions means cleaner air, healthier communities and a greener environment for everyone.

Our work isn’t just about delivering technical solutions, it’s about social outcomes: better education, fairer housing, and climate action. Together, we’re shaping a future where people and the environment come first. Here are some of our standout moments.
