Contractor Graham has seen its pre-tax profit soar by 71 per cent although revenue fell.<\/p>\n

In its latest accounts to 31 March 2025, published today, John Graham Holdings Limited recorded pre-tax profit of \u00a325.2m compared to \u00a314.8m the previous year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Its turnover dipped 6 per cent, from \u00a31.13bn to \u00a31.06bn.<\/p>\n

However, its cash at bank rose to \u00a3192.5m from \u00a3150.9m.<\/p>\n

A statement in its accounts attributed its performance to \u201cdisciplined contract selection, robust commercial management, and a focus on long-term value creation\u201d.<\/p>\n

The year saw Graham, which ranked 21st in the CN100 2024 table of top contractors,<\/a> secure a number of high-profile project wins across its construction, facilities management and investment divisions.<\/p>\n

These included the \u00a390 million D3 Deep-Water Terminal for Belfast Harbour Commissioners, a \u00a3630m contract for residential developments in Belfast and a \u00a3124.5m contract to create student accommodation in Glasgow<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was also awarded work by the Department of Education to deliver a number of school projects across England as part of the UK government\u2019s School Rebuilding Programme.<\/p>\n

Other notable awards included a \u00a3100m mixed-use development in Leeds for Latimer<\/a> \u2013 which is one of the first high rise buildings to achieve Gateway 2 approval from the Building Safety Regulator \u2013 and inclusion in National Highways\u2019 multi-billion-pound road renewals framework.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a record order book, a healthy forward pipeline, and a strong balance sheet, the group is well-positioned for controlled growth,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

Graham\u2019s staff headcount over the year reduced to 2,297 employees from 2,352, but its wage bill grew to \u00a3148m from \u00a3145m.<\/p>\n

The contractor said tender price inflation continues to be driven by labour cost pressures and ongoing skills shortages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
