Hill said that it was on track with its five-year strategy of doubling turnover and profitability in the period up to 2025.聽 The strong balance sheet shows more than 拢138m of cash in the bank, 拢224m net assets and no borrowings.
The company is based in Essex, with four regional offices in Cambridgeshire, Oxfordshire, Norfolk and West Sussex.

The group鈥檚 current land bank includes more than 6,700 homes with a pipeline of opportunities that could deliver a further 9,400 homes.
Owner and chief executive Andy Hill said: 鈥淚 am very proud of this strong set of financial results but what has brought me the most pleasure is seeing how our team has weathered different challenges throughout the year. We have invested in our people, pipeline, and new technologies to increase our capabilities and lay the foundations for our next stage of growth.鈥�
