Northern Ireland based contractor says turnover slipped 6% to just over £1bn

Pre-tax profit at Graham headed north last year after two successive years of falls with the Northern Ireland-based contractor seeing its bottom line improve by 70%.

In accounts filed at Companies House for the 12 months to March 2025, pre-tax profit jumped from £14.8m to £25.2m although revenue was down 6% to £1.06bn.

In a note accompanying the accounts, the firm, which last year failed to agree a deal to rebuild the Tavern and Allen stands at Lord’s cricket ground, said: “This growth reflects disciplined contract selection, robust commercial management and continued investment in strategic capabilities.â€
