Rydon is a British facilities management and property maintenance company which was founded in 1978. Its head office is in Dartford, Kent, and it has two maintenance offices in London.[1] It had a turnover of around £51.9 million and employed an average of 423 people in the year to September 2022.[2]
Until 2021, Rydon was also a building contractor and employed over 650 people.[3] Rydon was the contractor responsible for refurbishment of the Grenfell Tower (destroyed by fire in June 2017, killing 72 people) and was said to have given "inadequate thought to fire safety, to which it displayed a casual attitude" and bore "considerable responsibility for the fire".
In 2021, Rydon divested its contracting operations to a new business, Real. This collapsed into administration in late 2023 owing over £8m.
