Tilbury Douglas posted turnover of 拢542m for 2024

In its latest accounts for the year to 21 December 2024, the firm said its performance had been 鈥渁gain outstanding鈥 with the group remaining debt free and finishing the year with cash of 拢50.7m, up from 拢8.4m in 2023.

It said it had secured more than 拢637m of new contracts and orders last year, amassing a forward order book which reached 拢1.32bn in March 2025.

The firm鈥檚 building and fit out arms have been the primary drivers of growth, with 90% of revenue coming from long term frameworks for repeat clients.

The accounts come after the appointment of Craig Tatton as chief executive in November last year, replacing Paul Gandy.

Gandy, who joined from Kier in 2019 and led a restructure of the firm after its separation from Interserve, is still a board advisor at Tilbury Douglas and is senior vice president of the Chartered Institute of 黑洞社区.

Interserve went into administration and was formally wound up in 2022, after pushing into support services and a disastrous foray into the energy from waste sector.
