CCG (Scotland) Ltd has reported strong yearly growth figures in what it described as a “challenging period” for the sector.

The Group’s profits rose by 57 per cent in the year to March 2015 to over £7 million with turnover up 28 per cent in the same period to just under £121m. Its off-site manufacturing division, CCG OSM, also reported strong figures with turnover up 87.5 per cent to just under £15m and profits up 84 per cent to just under £2m.

CCG chief executive and chairman, Alastair Wylie, said: “This has been a year of solid progress for the business in what remains a tough economic climate for the sector. Our ongoing investment in our people and facilities has enabled us to sustain and develop our core construction business and to extend that expertise to new sectors and clients.

“Our commitment to skills replenishment is undiminished and our apprenticeship training programme continues to represents 10 per cent of our total workforce. We are especially proud this year to have become the first construction company in Scotland to be awarded the Investors in Young People Gold Award.

“We also particularly believe that this training philosophy coupled with our state of art off-site manufacturing facility means that we are well positioned to respond to the serious challenge of skills and materials shortages in the market place.”
