As a privately owned business, there is no requirement for 聽Willmott Dixon to public interim results, but it has chosen too nonetheless.
They show that in the six months to 30th June 2025 turnover was down 2% at 拢548.1m (2024 H1: 聽拢561.1m) but pre-tax profit remained at 拢10.0m (2024 H1: 拢10.0m).
The company said that a selective bidding approach had enabled it to maintain healthy margins.

Chief executive Graham Dundas said: "Willmott Dixon鈥檚 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.聽
鈥淟ooking forward, the scale of opportunity ahead of us is particularly exciting, as our market-leading position in key sectors pays dividends. With over 拢1bn of pre-construction work ready for conversion to main contracts and our record 拢700m+ framework turnover this year, we're well positioned for sustained growth."
