Portsmouth International port director Mike Sellers said: “Our contractors are underway on this huge development project and you’ll start to see the Border Control Post (BCP) taking shape.

“This has allowed us to expand, and we will be able to increase our role as a key port, providing critical routes for UK-EU trade serving the western channel and providing resilience against the challenges of the short crossings in Kent.

“Green credentials are also at the forefront of our plans, as any new development must meet our target to become the UK’s first net carbon neutral port by 2030.”

In addition, Kier has started work on Paisley Museum’s £42m extension and transformation project in Scotland.

The contract, which was awarded by Renfrewshire Council, involves redevelopment of four buildings. Two of them are grade A listed buildings including a Scotland’s first public Observatory.
