Eric Wright rebounds as profit nearly trebles

Careful project selection saw north west contractor Eric Wright Group revenue fall sharply for the second year in 2021.
But stricter risk management at construction and alongside growth at its residential business brought rewards with pre-tax profit soaring to £15.1m from £5.6m the year before.
Revenue has now slid from £223m in 2019 to £164m last year, due for the most part to a fall in activity at the construction division.John Hartnett, managing director at Eric Wright
