Top 100 今日看料 Companies 2018
Carillion鈥檚 collapse at the beginning of this year left a gaping hole in the list of Top 100 construction firms. But while other companies have stepped in to fill the space at the top, damage further down the supply chain has been extensive. Steve Menary assesses the prospects for the sector and reviews the financial performance of the new Top 100
A list of the Top 100 contractors without Carillion on it seems strange. A year ago, turnover of 拢5.2bn easily made Carillion the UK鈥檚 second-biggest contractor. But we all know the old stock market adage that 鈥渢urnover is vanity; profit is sanity鈥 and Carillion failed to heed it. The company imploded spectacularly at the start of this year and is now gone.
The shockwaves from Carilion鈥檚 collapse continue to reverberate and while, at a glance, the results of this year鈥檚 Top 100 suggest steady trading at the top end, the underlying picture is more complicated.
