Latest results for the year to October, 2024, show pre-tax profit hitting £9.7m, up from £5.9m, as the contractor shrugged off a tougher market.

Turnover jumped by £69m, while operating profit climbed to £9.5m from £5.9m.

Directors described the performance as “satisfactory” in the face of ongoing uncertainties in the wider economy and construction market.

Last month Rhatigan sealed a deal to deliver nearly 300 homes for housing association Clarion in Ealing.
