The ‘Kew Capital Development Programme’ was established to make significant upgrades to the estate and reflects its vision for the next 10 years.

The success of the programme will require innovative approaches to delivery and control of work in order to ensure smooth continuity of the estate, including protection of the collections, uninterrupted public access to the gardens, and maintenance of horticultural and scientific activities.

“The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew is a much-loved destination for visitors and tourists and we are committed to delivering the estate’s vision in order to guarantee its long-term future and success,” said London office director Rob Joyce.
