It said that income during the year had been boosted by several jobs, stalled in the previous 12 months, finally began on site. “This led to a significant increase in profitability and marked the Group’s best performance on record since transitioning to an employee-owned group [in 2021],” chief executive Owen Dannatt added.

Kilnbridge, which was set up by brothers Dermot and David McDermott, is currently working on the HS2 railway as well as a new life sciences scheme for Kadans in Canary Wharf.

Dermot McDermott said: “2025 has been a strong year for Kilnbridge, with all projects delivered successfully and profitably.

“Our £300m order book positions us strongly for the next 12 months. Over the past year we have strengthened our team structure, expanded our operational capacity and built an organisational model that supports delivery at scale. This means we can take on a larger and more diverse portfolio of projects while maintaining the high standards our customers expect.”

The number of staff at the business was up from 347 to 371./p>
