Robertson Group Predicts More Than 25% Turnover

Stirling-based UK construction company Robertson Group is expecting to report a huge company turnover of more than 25% later this year.

The company will release its growth to March 2018 in its later report.

CEO Derek Shewan has attributed their financial growth to a number of high-profile construction projects and a strong order book.

Robertson is the main contractor on the £330million Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC), the largest Robertson project in its 52-year history.

Robertson founder and executive chairman, Bill Robertson said: "We have worked hard at making sure the business has a strong market presence with a client and defined sector focus. This strategic approach has allowed us to play to many of our strengths, which has in turn supported our growth in larger projects since 2010.

"At present, we have 237 live infrastructure contracts including schools, universities, residential homes, leisure centres, roads, and bridges, retail outlets and warehousing spanning Scotland and North England.

"We adopt a clear strategy of focus and high-quality deliverability and profitability which provides the best project outcomes for our valued customers and suppliers and a sustainable business into the future. We are in a robust position to continue our momentum which has recently seen our involvement in major opportunities such as the Macallan, the AECC and Balfour Hospital in Orkney, – all of which have demanded us to excel."
