Morgan Sindall has walked off with the industry’s biggest annual haul of contract wins ending Kier’s two-year domination of the contracts league.

The contractor romped to the top of the rankings after securing £2.4bn worth of projects over the year, up a third on its performance in 2015, according to contract data collected by Glenigan.

Wates, Willmott Dixon and Mace joined the industry’s top 10 players in 2016, as Bouygues, Vinci and Skanska slid down the rankings based on value of work secured.

The Top 10 saw their share of new orders secured by the 100 most successful contractors slip from around 46% in 2015 to 41% this year, while total work won over 2016 fell 9% compared with 2015.

Kier bagged a £135m contract for the Innovation Campus for Cardiff University.
