Covering the Cracks: Though Revenue is Forecast to Grow in 2021-22, It is Set to Remain Below Pre-Pandemic Level

Revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 2.8% over the five years through 2022-23 to reach £3.8 billion. Contractors compete for work in the residential, commercial, public and industrial markets, and revenue tends to run procyclical with the wider economy. Challenging economic conditions have reduced contractors' income prospects, constraining revenue growth.
