Double digit business growth

Our latest set of accounts (FY23-FY24) demonstrates yet another strong year of growth and key business advancements.

Highlights from the past year include a 13.67% increase in turnover, with impressive gains in our mechanical (13.3%) and service (17.7%) departments. While our boiler hire department experienced a decline, the overall business trajectory remains positive, and we have made a key investment in this area to bolster our service provision.

Our team has grown significantly, with employee numbers rising from 76 in March 2023 to 89 currently, comprising 64 engineers and apprentices and 25 administrative staff. We’ve also expanded our apprentice programme, with five apprentices now training in our mechanical and service departments, ensuring the future strength of our workforce.

Customer growth remains robust, with a 5% increase taking us to 400 customers and a 33% rise in the sites we service, now nearing 2,000 across Scotland and northern England.

Investments in innovation and infrastructure include advanced workshop equipment such as the Novopress radial pressing device, a Rigid 300 compact threading machine, and a Key Plant KPI4-E pipe bevelling machine – all of which further enhance our capabilities.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to announce that we have secured a new, larger, purpose-built premises, with a planned move in April 2025, to support our expanding operations and workforce.
