How to look for and find confidence in UK construction

A few weeks into 2025 and already it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the relentless bad news cycle. Here are some bright spots on the horizon

It is considered good practice to start the new year in a “reset” mode: move on from any negatives that may have dragged us down in the previous 12 months and look ahead with as much positivity as we can muster for what lies ahead.

So in the spirit of finding some positive news for the construction sector I would point to our coverage of the announced sale of Lendlease to private equity firm Atlas Holdings. Clearly, this “good” news story does not and cannot wipe out all of the pain many contractors felt in 2024, but there is no doubt that the story breaking on new year’s day was a fillip to the sector.
