Revenue dipped slightly to 9.5 million, but their core electrical division brought in 6.4 million, while other divisions kept things strong. Cash reserves remain healthy at seven figures, even after buying back shares from retiring directors. EBITDA stayed steady at around one million. Managing Director Mark Heaney praised his team for maintaining strong margins and cash flow, despite not hitting last year’s revenue. With three new directors joining in 2025 and plans to hire electrical apprentices in Q3, the company is gearing up for strategic growth — even as staffing dips from retirements are expected to rebound with rising orders.
