FRAMEWORKS UNDERPIN WILLMOTT DIXON’S GROWTH AMBITIONS

Willmott Dixon has reported a “solid” performance in its interim results for the six months to 30 June 2025.

While pre-tax profit remained unmoved on the same period last year at £10m, turnover was £548.1m compared to £561.1m a year ago.

But the company said it had record £700m+ framework turnover secured for 2025 with two major extensions so far – and it said it had more than £1bn of pre-construction work secured in 2025 positioned for main contract conversion.

Chief executive officer, Graham Dundas, said: “Willmott Dixon’s solid first half performance demonstrates our excellent operational performance and the resilience and quality of our order book. Our continued focus on operational excellence and smart contract selection underpins the strong profit performance and cash position across the group. 

“Looking forward, the scale of opportunity ahead of us is particularly exciting, as our market-leading position in key sectors pays dividends. With over £1bn of pre-construction work ready for conversion to main contracts and our record £700m+ framework turnover this year, we’re well positioned for sustained growth."

The company has successfully extended two key frameworks this year - Procurement Hub's Major Projects to 2028 and Pagabo Major Works to 2027.

Its education sector performance has been particularly strong, with £700m secured to date on the current DfE framework with the most contract wins of any framework partner in the last 12 months.

Major project wins also include Queen Mary University’s  £48.8m School of Business and Management redevelopment and Doncaster Gateway One, a £32m Grade A office development, net zero in operation

It is also set to work on the National Maritime Museum with a £12m glazing upgrade project.
