British arm of US architect’s profitability boosted by overseas work in latest available accounts
US architect Gensler’s UK arm went back in the black last year amid a 65% jump in revenue.
In accounts for the year to 31 March 2012, only now filed at Companies House, Gensler Associates/International Limited reported a return to pre-tax profit, making £1m up from a loss of £634,970 the previous year.
The firm also reported a jump in revenue to £55.8m in 2012, up from £33.8m in 2011.
The rise in revenue was driven by work in the UK. The firm’s UK revenue rose from £29m in 2011 to £48.4m in 2012. It’s work in the rest of the world increased from £4.8m in 2011 to £7.3m in 2012.
However, it was Gensler UK’s operations overseas that were most profitable.
Pre-tax profit on work in the rest of the world rose from a loss of £701,438 in 2011 to a profit of £778,796 in 2012. The firm’s UK pre-tax profit rose from £66,468 in 2011 to £240,276 in 2012.
