Willmott Dixon.Building With Purpose.
One of the UK’s most respected construction companies and a proud partner of Knife Crime Matters – sponsoring schools and investing in community safety across England and Wales.
Construction ThatBuilds Communities.
Willmott Dixon’s partnership with Knife Crime Matters reflects a long-standing belief that great construction companies do not just build buildings – they build communities. With over a century of history and a reputation built on quality, integrity and community investment, Willmott Dixon has consistently demonstrated that social responsibility is not an afterthought but a fundamental part of how they operate.
For Willmott Dixon, partnering with KCM was a natural fit. They work across England and Wales on projects that directly affect the communities where knife crime is a lived reality – schools, civic buildings, community centres, social housing. The young people who walk past their sites, who will one day use the buildings they construct, are exactly the young people that KCM exists to protect.
By sponsoring KCM, Willmott Dixon has put their name alongside a nationally recognised, evidenced and trusted knife crime prevention organisation – demonstrating to their clients, their supply chain and their communities that they take social value seriously, and that their commitment to community wellbeing extends beyond the buildings they deliver.
