Luddon Construction has increased revenues to £161.7 million after continued expansion across the energy and infrastructure sectors helped drive growth.
Revenue for the contractor rose from £157 million in the year to 31 August 2025, supported by further growth in England.
Pre-tax profit climbed to £4.4 million from £4 million the previous year, with the business citing disciplined project selection, strong commercial management and operational delivery across major infrastructure schemes.
Cash at bank remained solid at nearly £18 million, with net assets increasing by more than £3 million to £22.2 million.
The civil engineering specialist strengthened its market position through expansion in southern England, including a new division and highways-focused capability, further enhancing delivery across infrastructure and energy programmes.
Luddon’s Board said a strong secured order book provided confidence heading into the new financial year, underpinned by repeat business, framework agreements and continued success across public and private sector work.
It also invested further in plant, machinery and transport to improve efficiency and reduce reliance on external hire.
Framework participation remains central to its growth strategy, with continued investment in bid management, estimating and compliance aimed at improving win rates.

Looking ahead, directors said the business is well placed to benefit from ongoing UK infrastructure investment and the transition within the energy sector.
“[We] continue to focus on expanding framework participation and improving win rates across target sectors, particularly infrastructure and highways, and the growing power and energy markets,” they added.
Founded in 1975 by Marshall Dougall and now led by his son Barclay, Luddon Construction has grown into a major privately owned UK infrastructure contractor employing around 540 people.
Headquartered in Glasgow, the firm operates across Scotland and England, with regional divisions covering Northern England and the South of England.
Recent projects include the £6.2 million Cockenzie civil remedial works for SP Transmission, the £5 million Stirling Station redevelopment for ScotRail and the £1.2 million Cumberhead collector substation scheme for Scottish Power Energy Networks.
