FK Group

What FK Group does

FK Group is a UK-based specialist building envelope contractor founded in 1979 and headquartered in Altrincham, Cheshire. The company supplies and installs full building envelope solutions — roofing, cladding, glazing, and facade systems — for main contractors and developers on commercial, industrial, distribution, retail, healthcare, sports/stadium, and education projects across England. Its technical capabilities include the proprietary Eticlad facade system, bespoke design and scheduling software enabling component-level coordination, and full Level 2 BIM implementation on major schemes. The group operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries (FK Construction Ltd, FK Facades Ltd, FK Projects Ltd) and sub-brands FK Resolv. (building safety and remediation, addressing the post-Grenfell regulatory market) and Premo (architectural fabrications), with approximately 160 employees across five UK offices in Altrincham, Doncaster, Birmingham, Grimsby, and Newton Aycliffe.

FK Group generates revenue through project-based, bespoke construction contracts tendered directly to main contractors and developers, with pricing determined per project by scope, specifications, and contract terms. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales: the company engages professional teams during pre-construction and design development to assist with budgeting and specification, then fulfils full envelope packages to completion. Notable project delivery includes the £114m Liverpool FC Anfield main stand, the £150m Morrisons Edgeware Road food store, the Manchester City Football Academy (for which the Eticlad system was developed), Amazon Doncaster (with Kingspan product partnership), and the Waitrose Magna Park national distribution centre (achieving 0.5 m³/hr/m² air tightness against a 3.0 industry benchmark). Forecast turnover for 2020/21 was £88m. Distribution is direct and UK-domestic only, with marketing limited to the company website, project case studies, and LinkedIn/Twitter corporate presence.
