In the year to 30th June 2025 Kilnbridge Group turned over £129m. This was a whopping 50% increase on 2024’s £86m turnover and even topped 2023’s £120m figure.

Pre-tax profit in the latest accounts was £6.7m (2024: £3.7m; 2023: £6.4m) – its highest result since transitioning to an employee-owned company in 2021.

Over the past year, Kilnbridge has continued to expand its footprint across sectors including data centres, transport and nuclear energy. Projects completed included the HS2 Colne Valley Viaduct for the Align JV, Beaulieu Park Station in Essex and Sadler’s Wells East and BBC Music at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London.

Current projects including Project Aleph in Mayfair, One North Quay in Canary Wharf, The Hub in Aldermaston and further work across HS2.  

Kilnbridge founder and chairman Dermot McDermott said: “2025 has been a strong year for Kilnbridge, with all projects delivered successfully and profitably. Our £300m order book positions us strongly for the next 12 months. Over the past year we have strengthened our team structure, expanded our operational capacity and built an organisational model that supports delivery at scale. This means we can take on a larger and more diverse portfolio of projects while maintaining the high standards our customers expect.â€

Chief executive Owen Dannatt, who joined in May 2024 as McDermott’s successor, added: “We continue to deliver engineering excellence and innovation across some of the most complex and iconic projects in the UK, guided by a commitment to sustainability and safety. We are proud to work with a wide range of trusted customers who value the quality of our delivery and the depth of expertise across our business.

“Our success is only possible because of our people. As an employee owned group, their pride, skill and dedication are at the heart of everything we do. Issuing our highest employee profit share payment to date reflects the progress we have made together and recognises the hard work and commitment of our teams across the business.â€
