We have announced our financial results for 2017-18. The results show growth in both profit and cash, demonstrating a steadily improving performance in what remains a volatile market.
At a time when the UK construction market is highly competitive, we are delighted that the figures tell a very positive story:
The upward curve of our performance puts us in a strong position of financial resilience and is testament to our commitments of delivering quality, safely, on time, and sustainably. This sees us ideally situated to deliver our new business strategy successfully.
This five-year plan, which was introduced by Chief Executive, Paul Hamer, at the end of 2018, sets the path towards achieving our ambition to become ‘the best place to work’ and ‘the best builder.’
There has been a significant transformation taking place at the heart of the business whilst retaining the fundamental ethos of our family culture which has served us for the past 150 years.
As we are celebrating this milestone 150th anniversary this year, we are particularly conscious of the role that our family culture has played in bringing the best out of our people and being a catalyst for innovation, technical excellence, and trusted, lasting relationships with clients.
Building on our heritage, the business has been keen to evolve and stand out. We have put our people at the heart of our strategic vision and emphasised our focus on the way we collaborate with our supply chain partners and deliver value for our clients. We launched a new website and a refreshed brand identity at the start of 2019. A contemporary Sir Robert McAlpine has emerged that is now enthusiastically looking to the future and guided towards a new era of digital transformation, intent on harnessing data and technology to inspire and improve.
This aspiration to lead by example in the industry is also apparent in the strong ethical standards which we hold dear. For instance, we have been proactively collaborating with key industry bodies in the fight against modern slavery and corruption. We have been championing inclusion and diversity and are committed to inspiring industry wide change, by promoting education, engagement and raising the profiles of the many skilled and talented experts amongst our diverse workforce.
Paul Hamer, Chief Executive, said:
