Springfield Properties hails market resilience as sales top £200m for first time
Springfield Properties has shrugged of the fall-out from the pandemic, including pressure from supply chain disruption, to report a big leap in profits in its latest financial year.
The Elgin-based housebuilder hiked turnover to above £200 million for the first time as it flagged the benefit of completing homes originally scheduled to have been finished the previous year, as well as higher demand for larger houses with greenspace as people continue to work from home. Profits surged by 81.4 per cent to £18.5 million as revenue increased by 51% to £216.7m in the year ended May 31.
The results were driven by an increase in home completions to 973 from 727.
