About Banyards

For 30 years, Banyards have worked on some of the UK’s biggest and most ground-breaking projects, providing services including: mechanical and electrical design; energy and carbon consultancy; Building Information Modelling (BIM) and much more.

The company works for a range of clients including architects, project managers, end-users and developers, and boasts some of the most innovative and experienced specialists in the industry.

Founded in 1987 by Nick Till and the late Paul Banyard, leaders of the organisation have been keen to question, investigate and challenge their clients and staff to look beyond the immediate requirements of each project to make sure it is as good as it can possibly be.

Their core values - relationship people; successful people; doing the right thing people; can do people; and safe people - define who they are and how they work. As an Investors in People Gold company, they ensure their employees understand what the company wants to achieve and how to help achieve it.
