McLaren Construction has broken the £1bn turnover barrier with further growth on the cards.

Latest accounts for the year ending 31 July 2025 show turnover reached £1.12bn from  £924m last time generating pre-tax profit of £21m up from £11.9m.

McLaren is expecting to hit £1.25bn in revenue this financial year fuelled by increased demand in sectors including data centres, industrial and logistics, commercial, sports-leisure and entertainment, health and education.

The contractor was involved in more than 81 active projects in both the UK and UAE during the financial year – 21 in negotiation, 31 live on site and 29 successfully completed.

Diversification into the public sector contributed £250m to turnover and helped McLaren to now have places on a total of 24 frameworks.

Group Chairman Kevin Taylor said: “Our growth is based on customers who trust us and return to us, time and after time, and every colleague who has worked on those projects over the last 25 years can take pride in their contribution to the long-term relationships that form the basis of our business.

“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank our customers for their continued support.

“More than ever, we’ve grown our capability from talent within our business, promoting many who have impressed us with the way they have handled responsibility and bringing people into the business at the start of their careers to learn the McLaren way of working.

“These are people who see the potential in technology to help them work smarter, but fundamentally just enjoy building.”

Group Chief Executive, Paul Heather, added: “Geographical spread and sector diversity have allowed us to grow in a tough market. McLaren has reached the point where it can offer expertise in any building sector, anywhere in England and Wales, and in the UAE.

“Our project wins range from £10m to £350m in contract value and we have kept ourselves lean and flexible enough to handle any size and complexity of scheme delivering value to our customers.”
