Van Elle soars to record revenue in first six months

Piling specialist Van Elle saw revenues in the first half jump by over a third to £80m helping to deliver operating profit ahead of last year.
The house building market delivered strong demand, resulting in 38% of total revenue, while infrastructure and general construction markets also continued to show good growth, with improving order levels and contract activity.
This trading improvement lifted pre-tax profit to £3.3m from £1.9m a year before.Chief executive Mark Cutler sai
