Higgins Group thrives with £1.1bn pipeline backed by strong partnerships

The Essex-headquartered group saw a 51 per cent increase in turnover for the year ended 31 July 2025, reaching £315 million, up from £208.2 million the previous year.

Pre-tax profit also saw significant growth, rising to £1 million from £278,000 in 2024.

The group’s subsidiary, Higgins Partnerships, reported turnover of £303 million, a 48 per cent increase, with pre-tax profit holding steady at £8.9 million.

Overall Higgin’s Group’s strong performance was underpinned by a robust pipeline, securing four new build projects and three remediation schemes across London and the Home Counties.

And although inflation, interest rates, Building Safety Regulator requirements, and the planning system changes resulted in slowed sales and delayed project starts, particularly in London, Higgins Homes sold all available properties within the year.

In addition it secured positions on seven frameworks for future housing, remediation, and maintenance work.

Cash reserves also more than doubled to £24.9 million (FY2024: £9.3 million), with debt reduced by £20 million to £14.7 million.

Higgins Group’s development pipeline is valued at over £1.1 billion, with land under control generating potential income of £600 million.

Declan Higgins, chief executive officer at Higgins Group, said: “The group’s ability to maintain profitability in a difficult market demonstrates the strength of our business and the quality of our development pipeline.

“By responding effectively to changing conditions, the group has continued to deliver growth.”
