About this business
A London groundworks contractor formed in 2023, carrying out excavation, foundations, drainage, slabs and external works for house builders and commercial developers. It owns a freehold yard for plant and materials and employs 10 people, including machine operators and groundworkers. Turnover has grown each year to £1.55m and EBITDA from £177k to £244k. A buyer takes on a young, profitable contractor with its own yard, which is hard to find in London.
