United Living Group has posted its first profits following its formation from the merger of Bullock Construction Ltd and United House Ltd in September last year.

For the 12 months ending 31 March 2015 the company has reported a pretax profit of £2.1m, turnover of £243m and has secured projects worth £230m in 2015/16.

The group has also revealed a five year growth strategy to increase its turnover to £500m a year. To achieve its ambitious targets the group in April appointed Peter Carey as financial officer and Anne Newman as people services director.

Ian Burnett, chief executive of United Living, said: “Our performance over the past year has been a huge accomplishment, especially given the well documented challenges that have faced the wider market.” 

“We have an exceptionally strong order book already this year, into 2017 and beyond, and importantly, we’re also responding to the changes that are happening in this sector.  

“We understand there is a housing shortage and we are continuing to adapt to the changes with a greater emphasis on the growing need for high quality open market and market rental homes.”

From April 2014 to March 2015, United Living North Ltd (formerly Bullock Construction) returned a profit of £0.6m, whilst United Living South Ltd (formerly United House) reported a profit of £1.6m for a 15-month accounting period, from January 2014 and March 2015.
