B&K says focus remains on strengthening balance sheet to give confidence to clients
Turnover and profit were both up at Bowmer & Kirkland last year, accounts filed by the contractor at Companies House show.
B&K said profit was up 11% to £76m in the year to August 2025 with income up 6% to £1.37bn.
Its year-end cash balance was £477m, down from £485m last time, but the firm said it “had taken advantage of a softer market” to take its stake in investment properties from £67m to £111m.
In a note accompanying the accounts, chairman Jack Kirkland said: “Our strong balance sheet sets us apart in a volatile industry.”
During the year, the firm spent £23.5m on acquisitions including £21m on London fit-out contractor Denton.
The number of employees at the business during the year rose 15% to 2,232.
