Esh Group counts on record orders after resilient year

North of England contractor Esh Group reported a pre-tax profit of £2m last year from stable revenue of £261m.
Chief executive Andy Radcliffe credited a “meticulously designed business model” for softening the impact of industry headwinds on 2022’s operating profit.
He said that longer-term contracts, priced pre-pandemic and vulnerable to cost inflation, were completed in the first half of 2023, leaving the business with a reduced risk profile moving forward.“
