Notes: Ardmore: The figures are for Ardmore Construction, the largest element of the Ardmore Group, which includes Ardmore Construction, Paddington Construction, BCL Rail Services, BCL Plant and BCP (British Contractors Plant Limited). Barr/McLaughlin & Harvey: The companies are listed separately but have common ownership in Trench Holdings. Bechtel: UK arm of the American construction giant. Bouygues: The figures are for the three largest construction arms of the French giant Bouygues that operate in the UK: Bouygues UK, Colas and Warings. The figures are for the combined performance of the companies and most are straight additions, so no account is taken of any intertrading. Bouygues does not file consolidated accounts for its combined UK operations. Bouygues has other construction related interests in the UK such as Ecovert FM, Thermal Transfer and David Webster. These have not been included. Bovis Lend Lease: The figures are for Bovis Lend Lease Holdings Limited, registered in England, which is a subsidiary of Australian-owned Lend Lease Corporation Limited. Brett Group: The figures include some contribution from building materials. Carillion: Acquired Alfred McAlpine in late 2007. Enterprise: Figures for turnover and for 2007 are pro forma. No representative figure is provided for profit before tax and for staff costs for 2007. BAM: The figures are for the aggregate performance of BAN Construct (formerly HBG Construction) and BAM Nuttall (formerly Edmund Nuttall), both subsidiaries of the Dutch-based Royal BAM Group. The figures are not taken from consolidated group accounts and most are straight additions, so no account is taken of any intertrading. The figure for the highest paid director is for Nuttall. Headcrown: The parent company for a range of construction firms including Cruden Group, JF Finnegan, Gee Group and Browns of Wilmslow. No highest paid director was given in the consolidated accounts, so the figure taken is from JJ Finnegan. Lagan: The Lagan group of companies consist of five separate divisions trading as: Lagan Holdings; Lagan Cement; Lagan; Homes; Lagan Developments; Kingscourt Bricks. The financial information is provided by the company and comprises the aggregated figures for the trading divisions. Inter-trading has been netted out for the purposes of these figures. Laing O’Rourke: The 2008 figures are taken from the firm’s Annual Review 2008 presented on the company website. The figures are for Laing O’Rourke Corporation and thought to represent the consolidated operations of the business. These figures have been included despite the company not being UK registered, which would normally exclude it from inclusion in the listing. Laing O’Rourke Corporation is understood to be registered in the British Virgin Islands along with its parent Suffolk Partners Limited. The 2007 figures are for Laing O’Rourke plc and are verifiable through the UK Companies House data. The largest UK registered operation known to 海角社区app is Laing O’Rourke Construction Limited, which achieved a turnover of £623 million in the year to March 2008. Figures for the year to 2009 were not made available to 海角社区app before publication, but it is understood that Laing O’Rourke turned over £4.1 billion. Southern Electric Contracting: The firm is a subsidiary of the Scottish and Southern Energy Group. Vinci/Ringway: The figures are for the combined performance of both companies, which are both subsidiaries of the French-owned Vinci. The figures are taken from the individual filed company accounts and most are straight additions. No account is taken of any intertrading. Ringway figures for 2008 were not available, so the figures used for 2007. The figure for highest paid director is for Vinci. Vinci acquired Taylor Woodrow construction in the autumn of 2008. Taylor Woodrow construction had a turnover of about £690 million in 2007. Willmott Dixon: The firm bought back in-house its former housing maintenance and building specialist Inspace, which it floated on the stock market about three years ago. Figures for the full group have not been prepared. Those presented are mainly for the Willmott Dixon operation alone, although the firm provided aggregated figures for the turnover and profit of the aggregated business, which have been included.
