Construction, facilities management and project investment group Graham has hailed a strong year of trading after reporting turnover growth of 36% to £767.5 million and profits of £13.1m during the 2017/18 financial year.

The company, which has five offices in Scotland, established its first operation in Glasgow in 2003 and has grown steadily in the Scottish market ever since.

Executive chairman Michael Graham said: “Our Scottish business has made a significant contribution to the group’s performance and we’re now a very well-established Scottish organisation, with strong roots across the country. Group-wide, we’ve grown our market share over the past 12 months whilst at the same time increasing investment in our people, our systems and our capabilities.

“A strong focus on our people and their skills remains a key priority, underlined by our Investors in People Platinum and Wellbeing accreditation and growing the number of apprenticeships through our in-house training academy.

“The company has also undertaken an extensive rebranding exercise, developing a ‘Delivering Lasting Impact’ principal which has been taken forward in all aspects of work.

“Our reserves have increased to £70.1m, which is testament to effective working capital management and prompt supplier payment. We’re also pleased to report a record order book and pipeline of business across each arm of the company.”
