Bowmer + Kirkland Group is a British construction services business based in Heage, Derbyshire.

History[edit]

The company was established in 1923 as a partnership between joiner Alfred Bowmer and bricklayer Robert William Kirkland.[2]

In July 2009 the firm was involved in a crane collapse in Liverpool that left a man paralysed and 100 people removed from their homes. The company was subsequently found guilty of breaching health and safety laws.[3][4]

Chairman John Kirkland died in November 2021.[5]
