en.Wedoany.com Reported - According to accounts filed with Companies House on July 9, 2026, by Northern Ireland-based construction contractor Graham, the company's pre-tax profit for the fiscal year ending March 2026 rose 44% year-on-year to £36 million, with revenue increasing 13% to £1.3 billion. This marks the second consecutive year of profit growth for the company.
Graham is a privately-owned construction and infrastructure group headquartered in Hillsborough, County Down, Northern Ireland, founded in 1955. The group operates across five sectors: building, civil engineering, interior fit-out, facilities management, and investment, employing approximately 2,500 people across the UK and Ireland with 17 regional offices. Backed by a robust balance sheet, the company's cash and cash equivalents at year-end increased by one-third to £261 million.
The company attributed the profit growth to "rigorous contract selection, prudent commercial management, and continued investment in strategic capabilities." In the last fiscal year, Graham secured key projects including a student accommodation development for Unite Students in partnership with Manchester Metropolitan University, fit-out contracts worth over £100 million for clients including Nike, and the Liverpool Waters Central Docks Infrastructure Scheme valued at £71 million. Additionally, the company was successfully appointed to the Department for Education's (DfE) £15 billion CF25 construction framework, the NHS "Hospital 2.0 Alliance Framework," and National Highways' £968 million legacy concrete road reconstruction framework.
On the management front, Chief Executive Andrew Bill, after more than 40 years of service, will retire on August 31, 2026, with current Group Chief Financial Officer Courtney McCormick succeeding him on September 1. Graham's results come at a time when the UK construction industry faces multiple challenges including rising costs and labor shortages. The company's two consecutive years of profit growth and strong cash reserves provide a financial foundation for continued expansion in public sector infrastructure, healthcare, education, and student accommodation sectors.
