Firm turns in improved figure on turnover up to £1.3bn

Willmott Dixon has reported a 14% rise in pre-tax profit a year on from de-merging its Be Living housebuilding and Fortem repairs and maintenance subsidiaries at the start of 2017.

The privately-owned contractor said it posted a pre-tax profit of £35.5m for the 12 months to the end of December 2017 on turnover of £1.3bn, up 6.6%.

Chief executive Rick Willmott said the group had made significant progress towards focusing on its construction arm since the demerger of Be Living and Fortem 18 months ago.
