KBR and Frazer-Nash Consultancy are continuing to expand their presence across the UK with the opening of a new office in the heart of London.

The Collaboration Hub extends KBR’s UK footprint and its continued UK portfolio, which supports a total contribution of over £900 million to the UK economy in 2023, according to a study by Oxford Economics.

The hub will act as a location to collaborate both within the business and with stakeholders, positioning us close to customers across key market sectors including defence, nuclear, infrastructure and energy.

At the opening event, KBR’s Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer, Jenni Myles, was honored to be joined by Virginia Murray, the Minister Counselor for Economic Affairs at the US Embassy in London.

Following a traditional ribbon-cutting ceremony, the Minister Counselor joined leaders and early career professionals across KBR and Frazer-Nash for a roundtable discussion. The session focused on the wide range of projects and developing capabilities that are delivering transformational change in support of the UK’s defence, national security, energy security and sustainability objectives.

“Our priority and commitment is always our people, and the London Collaboration Hub by design seeks to serve as a platform to combine knowledge and expertise, with each other, and our customers, to develop solutions for the challenges of today and the future,” said Jenni Myles.

The Minister Counselor also learned more about Frazer-Nash’s new Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) community outreach initiative, ‘FNConnect’, bringing together trail blazers, market disruptors and bright minds across the technology ecosystem to learn and network with potential collaborators and connect directly to Frazer-Nash’s technical capabilities and engineering expertise.

Virgina Murray, said, “It was impressive to see the depth of knowledge and scope of engagement across key sectors that are so critical to supporting sustainable future growth in both the UK and US”

KBR and Frazer-Nash now has 18 offices across the UK – growing to over 4,000 people nationally.
