Britcon is gearing up for a record-breaking year after securing a raft of major frameworks that have put the business on track to nearly double turnover.

The civil engineering, building and structural steel specialist said it had established a strong base for growth after reporting a revenue rise of 10% to £37m in the year to 30 September 2024.

Pre-tax profit dipped to £844,000 from £1.2m after a ramp-up in investment in regional office expansions in Yorkshire and the North East, and new digital platforms for site and commercial management.

The firm maintained a strong cash position and is now forecasting turnover to surge in 2025.

Managing director Nick Shepherd said: “2024 was a truly transformational year for Britcon.

“We have successfully secured new clients and major new frameworks, and with a forecast turnover of £70m in 2025, we’re entering our next phase of sustainable growth with confidence.

“We now have the right structure, systems, and capability in place and remain fully committed to delivering exceptional results and value for our clients and the communities we serve.”

Britcon now employs around 90 staff and plans to grow further in 2025, supported by a direct delivery model.

Britcon has landed spots on several key frameworks, including a place on Northumbrian Water’s £3.6bn AMP8 programme, alongside deals with NEPO, ABP, NEUPC and Bradford Council.

It has also picked up jobs with new clients, including the £13m Airfield Business Park project for Leicestershire County Council,  the £7.5m ASR II civils project for Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, an £8.9m Advanced Manufacturing Unit for the Harworth Group and £12m of contracts for Associated British Ports.
