Willmott Dixon posts robust results despite profits dip

Contractor Willmott Dixon has recorded relatively robust full-year results for 2019 – despite profits and revenues dipping due the coronavirus crsis.

Turnover fell from £1.32bn last year to £1.25bn, while profits dropped from £54m £31.3m.

Willmott Dixon’s profits rose by 55% in 2019.

The firm completed the Nottingham Science Park II development and the Winwood Heights extra-care facility in 2019. The contractor is also on-site with Nottinghamshire at the Orchard SEN school development, which will see the creation of a new facility that caters for up to 140 pupils with Special Educational Needs.

Nick Gibb, deputy managing director for the Midlands, said: “These results are a significant indication of the strength of the opportunities that exist for the right construction partner. We have delivered – and are continuing to deliver – some truly ground-breaking projects across the Midlands, working alongside customers and our trusted supply chain and design partners.”
