About this business
Founded in 2014, this Derby contractor cleans up contaminated land for developers and landowners, handling soil treatment, excavation and removal, and the reporting that goes with it. It owns a freehold yard and office in a suburban area and has 10 staff. Turnover has grown every year, from £561k in 2021 to £940k, and EBITDA from £74k to £111k. Margins are modest for the sector. The business could relocate, and a buyer would take on the yard, the plant and a team experienced with brownfield sites.
