Last year marked a significant milestone for Tilbury Douglas, with the launch of its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Strategy. This sets out clear ambitions to create, deliver, measure and report sustainable value for customers, colleagues and the communities in which it works. This reinforces the group’s commitment to leaving a lasting positive impact across the UK.

Craig Tatton, chief executive officer at Tilbury Douglas, said: “Our 2025 performance reflects the strength of our business model and our focus on sectors that offer long-term demand with a balanced risk profile.

“We remain firmly committed to becoming the leading UK contractor in our chosen sectors by 2029. To achieve this, we are targeting a £2bn+ order book, industry leading Net Promoter Scores, and an operating margin in excess of 3.5%, all underpinned by a strengthened balance sheet.”

Nicholas Pollard, chair at Tilbury Douglas, added: “Looking ahead, we will continue to strengthen our core businesses while pursuing new, appropriate opportunities that build on our experience and will ensure that Tilbury Douglas continues to thrive. With strong business foundations in place, we are well-placed to pursue further growth, scale up our operations and deliver sustained value.”
