HBC Construction Limited has released a financial update to clarify its 2025 performance following coverage of Henry Boot's preliminary results earlier this week.
As we were part of Henry Boot for the reporting period, the figures reported by the plc include intercompany transactions and Roadlink related costs, meaning they do not reflect the trading performance of HBC Construction Limited as an independent entity.
The confirmed FY25 results for HBC demonstrate a strong recovery year and a clear return to profitability:
Turnover: £71.15m (2024: £49.67m)
Profit Before Tax: £1.24m (2024: loss before tax £-1.65m)
The 2025 performance has been driven by the successful ongoing delivery of major schemes including Rotherham Markets, the National Centre for Child Health Technology (NCCHT) in Sheffield, ARK at Markham Vale, and Beck Hill MSCP in Bridlington.
Looking ahead, we have already secured £112m of contracted work for 2026, with several additional projects currently in PCSA which are well placed to convert. Based on the current pipeline, combined with an exemption from any legacy project claims through the terms of the MBO, the business is forecasting £120m turnover for 2026 and a further expected increase in profitability.
2025 was a year of recovery and a significant return to profitability for HBC, springboarding us strongly into 2026. It reflects the resilience of our teams, the loyalty of our clients and the disciplined commercial approach we’ve taken through a period of transition. These results provide a strong platform for the next chapter as an independently operated and financially robust business. With healthy secured turnover, a strong pipeline and a clear plan for controlled, sustainable growth, we are well positioned for continued progress through 2026 and beyond.
James Smith, Financial Director
