What Overbury does

Overbury is a UK office fit out and refurbishment contractor headquartered at 77 Newman Street, London, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Sindall Group plc (LON: MGNS). Founded in 1970, the company delivers design, build and refurbishment services across four core product lines: corporate office fit out, higher education fit out, office design and build, and specialist science and research fit out (including CL3/CL4 laboratories and ISO clean rooms). It serves enterprise clients in banking, legal, life sciences, media, professional services, real estate, and higher education, with named clients including Deloitte, Lloyds Banking Group, Capital Group, GSK, the Francis Crick Institute, ITV, Aviva, British Land, and London School of Economics.

The business is organised around five regional offices covering London, Southern England (Bracknell), Central England (Birmingham), Northern England (Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle) and Scotland (Motherwell), with regional Managing Directors and a centralised environmental and sustainability function. Its competitive positioning is built on sustainability credentials (BREEAM, LEED, WELL, SKA certifications; lowest recorded UK embodied carbon fit out at 139 kg CO2/m²), specialist capability in complex occupied buildings, laboratories and heritage properties, and the proprietary Perfect Delivery™ quality standard launched in 1999, under which 94% of projects achieve certification.

Overbury generates project-based professional services revenue through direct enterprise sales and long-term framework agreements, with project values ranging from sub-£15m refurbishments to major £15m+ schemes. Pricing is bespoke and quote-driven. The firm does not publish revenue figures but operates at a scale consistent with several hundred million pounds of annual revenue, sitting alongside Morgan Lovell within Morgan Sindall Group's fit out division. It pursues thought leadership via Scope 3 emissions reporting, AUDE conference sponsorship, and industry awards, with no disclosed AI/ML or software product lines.
