Fred Mills is founder of The B1M – a global video channel for construction with a focus to share “the best of construction”, improve the industry and attract more people to work in it. Under Fred’s leadership, The B1M has launched a chart-topping podcast, founded Get Construction Talking: a global mental health initiative, and invested in Brick Borrow: a LEGO subscription service to help LEGO inspire young builders.

In 2022, Mills was awarded an Honorary Masters Degree by UBE and named an Honorary Fellow of the IET in recognition of his “outstanding contribution to the public understanding of construction”. Fred’s book Mega Builds: 10 Colossal Construction Projects That Will Change Our World was published by Penguin Random House in May 2026.

Fred is a leading influencer in the sector, frequently speaking at international events and sharing his expertise with schools, colleges and organisations. Fred’s mission is to fundamentally alter the perception of construction on planet Earth.
