Its UK companies include BAM Construct UK and civil engineering and infrastructure firm BAM Nuttall.

James Wimpenny, BAM Construct UK's Chief Executive, said: "We are very proud in the UK to be part of a successful worldwide business that is known for its quality, expertise and innovation. We are proud too of our heritage but also embrace a forward looking attitude and new and better ways of working.

"The gift of 150,000 trees is because we recognise sustainability is so important for the future well-being of society. We will be announcing the locations of the UK tree plantings soon."
