Turnover boom at Nottingham building services firm

Nottingham-based building services firm J Tomlinson has posted an £87m turnover for 2016/17 – up £13m from the previous year.

During the 12 months to September 2017, the Beeston-based company, which also has an office in Canwell in the West Midlands, won a number of key contracts and contract extensions including £1.8m worth of upgrades and repair and maintenance work on properties for South Yorkshire Housing Association, a £7.25m contract to provide mechanical and electrical engineering services for a new 922-bed student accommodation scheme in Coventry, and a contract to build a specialist supported housing development in Coventry.

CEO Mark Davis said: “J Tomlinson is on a journey of sustainable growth and the latest accounts, which have just been filed, reflect the continued success of the company across its sectors in construction, refurbishment, mechanical and electrical services, facilities management and social housing repairs, maintenance and regeneration.

“We genuinely believe that our people are our greatest asset. Their hard work, commitment and vision has been the most important facet in supporting the development of the business.

“We plan to continue investing in our team, building relationships with new clients and strengthening our links with existing clients and customers, many of whom we have worked with for several years as a trusted partner. I am pleased to report that the projected forecast for 2018 is a further increase in turnover as a result of this approach.”
