About us

LEGENDRE is a Main Contractor and Property Developer based in central London. Legendre UK was established in 2015 as part of the growing focus of the Legendre group on the international market. The UK is a large and mature market, where the group can leverage its financial strength and technical expertise. Our head office is located in Chancery Lane – London. From this central place, we run our projects which are focussed on the M25 and the surroundings. Our core activities are contracting and development across a range of sectors but in particular residential, commercial and hospitality both new and refurb. We rely on a diverse team of local experts who have been operating in London and the UK for more than 15 years, complemented by a strong in-house engineering hub (Architects, Structural Engineers, MEP engineers) to support our clients in optimising their schemes. Our approach is simple: we are transparent, allowing us to focus our energy on finding solutions rather than creating problems! Our supply chain is based around a mix of self-delivery (RC Frame, steel frame, MEP), strong local partners and international suppliers. Our approach is different: we bring the versatility and the agility of a SME combined with the financial strength and expertise of a large international group.

  • Celebrating International Women’s Day – We’re proud to spotlight Marie MOLENAT, one of our brilliant Project Managers, who spoke to BE News about her career and the importance of diversity:   🌍 Why IWD matters to her: "I believe in equality for all and that everyone should be able to pursue a career regardless of gender. International Women’s Day is a great opportunity to promote this idea."   💪 Marie’s proudest moment: Reaching the position of those who inspired her and passing on her knowledge to younger generations.   🛠 Industry misconceptions: "Construction is not just about building brick walls. There’s so much more – from client interactions to managing health and safety and pushing for sustainability."   At Legendre UK, we are committed to promoting gender diversity in the construction industry. This is just one example of how women like Marie are breaking barriers and leading the way toward a more inclusive future.   Find out more about Marie’s journey: https://lnkd.in/eSk9p5_J   #IWD2025 #WomenInConstruction

  • Across Europe, 250 ports and 150 km of breakwaters are exposed daily to waves—an immense but untapped source of renewable energy. What if these maritime structures could do more than protect our coastlines? Legendre Group, partnering with GEPS Techno, is committed to turning this challenge into an opportunity with Dikwe - a technology designed to capture and convert wave energy into electricity. Dikwe enables port authorities to integrate low-carbon electricity generation into the refurbishment of existing infrastructure or the construction of new breakwaters, which have traditionally been built solely for coastal and port protection. By rethinking maritime infrastructure, the Group aims to help build more resilient and sustainable ports for the future. #Dikwe #SustainablePorts #WaveEnergy #LowCarbonSolutions #Innovation
