McGee grows by 56%

21 May 12 The McGee Group has attributed a 56% growth in turnover to the diversity of civil engineering and construction services that it offers.

Revenue for the year ending 30 November 2011 reached 拢91.7m, a record high for the Wembley-based contractor, up from 拢58.8m for the previous year.

Pre-tax profit for the year was 拢3.07m.

Group financial director Graham Payne said that directors had recommended taking no dividends, deciding instead to reinvest profits to expand the business further.

The group鈥檚 net asset position has also risen 26% from 拢9.7m to 拢12.3m.

However, Mr Payne warned that margins remained under pressure due to competition in the market.
