What Sweett Group does

Currie & Brown is a global construction consultancy, operating as the successor entity to the Sweett Group, which was founded in 1928 in London and was previously listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE:CSG) before being delisted and consolidated under Currie & Brown Holdings Limited, a private company registered in Jersey (No. 110686). The firm provides four core service lines — advisory services, building surveying, cost management and quantity surveying, and project and programme management — delivered to enterprise and public sector clients across the asset lifecycle from early strategy through to project delivery.

The firm operates through a global office network spanning five regions (UK and Europe, Americas, Asia Pacific, India, and Middle East) with named offices in London, New York, Dubai, Singapore, and Mumbai. It serves 20+ sectors including technology, healthcare, financial institutions, hospitality and leisure, public sector, defence, education, rail, energy and renewables, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and aviation. Its stated value proposition is bringing "clarity, control and certainty" to construction projects through risk management, cost control, and programme tracking. The company is a member of the Sidara collaborative, a network of built-environment consultancies.

Revenue is generated through professional services engagements on a project or retainer basis (pricing is not publicly disclosed). The company reaches customers through direct enterprise engagement via its regional offices, supported by thought leadership content (website insights, LinkedIn, Instagram) and email marketing via Mailchimp. Headcount is in the 1,001–5,000 range. No revenue figures are publicly disclosed for the current private entity.
