Chartered surveying firm reports profit and revenue growth

A Leeds-based chartered surveying practice has reported growth in both revenue and profit in the year ending 30 April 2018.

Revenue at Eddisons increased by over 5% to £14.2m while profits increased by almost 7% to £3.1m, up £200,000 on the previous year. The firm also reported operating margins had increased to 22.1% (from 21.6% in 2017).

Richard Roe, managing director at Eddisons, said: “These results have been achieved through a combination of organic growth and strategic acquisition.

“Within this financial year we have invested in our real estate and commercial valuation teams through the recruitment of experienced surveyors, and in our building consultancy capability, where we have experienced increased levels of instructions.

“Alongside this, we have also strengthened our machinery and business asset expertise through the acquisition of industrial plant and machinery asset specialists CJM Asset Management. This acquisition was completed in February and complements our existing operations, enhancing our capability to sell complex and high value assets internationally.

“This last year has also seen us recruit a new team in Liverpool, boosting the firm’s valuation and agency services across that region.”

Eddisons is headquartered in Leeds and employs 182 staff – up from 170 at the start of the previous financial year – and has been an established business for over 174 years.
