Morris & Spottiswood, a UK-based construction company, has announced a record financial performance for 2023, marking the highest turnover in its nearly 100-year history.

The company’s turnover surged by 25% to £128m ($171.18m), up from £103m in the previous year.

Morris & Spottiswood Ltd, part of the Morris & Spottiswood Group, also reported a 9% increase in operating profit, reaching £2.5m for the year ending 31 December 2023.

The financial statements underscore the company’s financial health, showcasing a strong balance sheet, impressive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation, low debt levels, a high percentage of secured workload, and clear pipeline visibility for the upcoming year.

The growth was attributed to several key factors, including the expansion of the group’s sector strategy, a robust performance in the public sector, and an uptick in business across England.
