Robertson Group Back In The Black After Quality-Over-Quantity Pivot

Family-owned construction, development, infrastructure and support services business Robertson Group has returned to profitability, unveiling results for the year ended 30 June 2025 that reflect its decision to prioritise quality over volume as it approaches its 60th year of trading.

Group revenue came in at £793M (2024: £824M), in line with expectations under the refined strategy. Profit Before Tax rose to £20.2M (2024: loss £9.7M). Year-end cash stood at £74M (2024: £82M) with no external debt. Robertson Construction Group delivered £575M of revenue, with several regional operations outperforming their business plans, and the Group's six clearly defined businesses reported delivery in line with plan.

Progress against sustainability and community goals also accelerated. The Group has delivered £1bn of social value five years ahead of target under its 2030 Responsible Business Strategy, while cutting carbon intensity by 73.72% over the past decade.

Elliot Robertson, Chief Executive Officer, Robertson Group, said: "2025 saw the Group focus on quality over quantity and recover a strong financial position following disappointing results in 2024. A full review and embedding enhanced governance processes have seen a positive year of performances across the portfolio of businesses, returning us to profitability with a healthy order book for 2026, our 60th year of trading.

"Our portfolio of businesses is a resilient model and having significantly evolved our management framework over six clearly defined and separate operating businesses, each with its own highly competent and experienced executive team, we are in a strong position to assure a sustainable future for our employees, business partners and the communities we serve.

"Despite a challenging and competitive marketplace, the strength of our relationships with our customers and supplier base creates a collaborative working environment where our products and services are delivered with certainty and to the highest standard.

"Our opportunities and success are underpinned by the quality of the people who make up Team Robertson, and our on-going commitment to employees is recognised through our ambition to achieve Investors in People Platinum, having secured the same accreditation as Investors in Young People.

"Our number one priority remains the safety, health and wellbeing of our employees and all who come into contact with our operations. Our 'Home Safe' ethos and training have been in place for over six years and since being extended to our supply chain over three years ago, over 10,000 individuals connected with our business have attended the course.

"We enter the new financial year with a strong return to profitability, strength in our balance sheet and improved order book visibility. As a business entering its 60th year of trading we continue to evolve in our journey of continuous improvement through the adoption of new technologies and innovations to benefit our employees, customers, supply chain and the communities where we work."
