New projects include Embankment West in Manchester and Miles Street, Vauxhall, London. The company’s forward order book stands at £115m and it has no debt or funding commitments.
Managing director Gareth Simm said: “I am very proud of this set of results. We have come a long way since my Grandad invested £200 in setting up the company in the 1940s and I’m sure he would be proud of what we have achieved of late.
“He fostered his business on a philosophy to ‘build trusted relationships’, which is exactly the philosophy we live by today. That’s why our project handover score stands at 8.9 out of ten, 90% of our work is repeat business and 100% of our customers say they would work with us again. This is testament to our employees, so I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to them for their hard work and dedication.”
