Carillion plc was a British construction and facilities management company formed in 1999 following the demerger of Tarmac’s construction and support services businesses. The company provided construction, infrastructure development, maintenance, and facilities management services to public- and private-sector customers.
Its activities included building and maintaining transportation infrastructure, public buildings, utilities, and defense-related facilities, as well as providing services such as cleaning, catering, energy management, and property maintenance. Carillion also participated in public-private partnership projects, including the development and operation of schools, hospitals, and other public assets.
Carillion operated primarily in the United Kingdom, with additional activities in Canada and selected international markets, including the Middle East. Richard Howson served as chief executive until 2017, after which Keith Cochrane became interim chief executive during the company’s financial difficulties.
Carillion entered compulsory liquidation in January 2018 after failing to secure additional financing. Its operations were subsequently divided or transferred among other organizations, and the company no longer operates as an independent business.
