Significant events

• “The turnover for the year increased by 34% to £227.7m as the Company continued to deliver more projects and higher value projects under long term frameworks.”
• “The Company expanded its mechanical and electrical resources to add to the Company's overall capability and through a Group acquisition we were able to extend their offering to include design services to our existing and prospective clients.”
• “Regarding external factors, the overheated labour market within the construction sector continued to be a challenge. We have extended our "grow your own" policy through our Graduate Programme and apprenticeships and this having run for a number of years is now bearing fruit.”
• “The Company profit for the year was excellent and the culmination of a number of specific actions and initiatives. Quality, production and planning were identified as being the key to sustainable profits and a secure financial position.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
