The Laing Family is a British family. The family is famous through their association with John Laing plc, a construction company founded in 1848. The company grew under the leadership of Sir John Laing and passed through the hands of his sons Sir Kirby Laing and Sir Maurice Laing.[1] The Laing family is known for its contributions to charity and donated £8.88 million in 2002.[1] The family also lends its name to nine separate foundations.[1] The family's net worth in 2002 was £165 million and their charitable foundations totalled £200 million in assets.[1] The Laing family sold John Laing plc to Henderson Private Equity in December 2006.
