Business Update – Winter 2019

“Todays’ market is not without its challenges, but the most important thing is that we enter 2020 in the same manner in which we leave 2019; delivering great projects of all sizes through honesty, integrity, hard work and discipline. This ‘Hobson & Porter way’ has been the backbone of our success for almost fifty years and it is vitally important we maintain this, whilst also evolving and moving with a fast-paced industry.” -Mike Gibbin, Finance Director

As we reach the end of the calendar year now is a good time to reflect on our performance during 2019.

This year we have seen some fantastic projects across the business which have positively contributed to our financial performance and we move towards 2020 with a strong order book and lots to look forward to.

Todays’ market is not without its challenges, but the most important thing is that we enter 2020 in the same manner in which we leave 2019; delivering great projects of all sizes through honesty, integrity, hard work and discipline. This ‘Hobson & Porter way’ has been the backbone of our success for almost fifty years and it is vitally important we maintain this, whilst also evolving and moving with a fast-paced industry.

Our PAS1192 BIM Level 2 accreditation received during 2019 is testament to this continuous improvement and positioning our business for construction projects now and in the future.

Despite changes in the political landscape, our pipeline across Yorkshire & Lincolnshire remains strong and we continue to see high rates of repeat work from our clients. Thanks to everyone who has made 2019 a success for our business; loyal staff, dependable suppliers, good clients, innovative consultants and supportive members of the public to name just a few.

I hope you are looking forward to the festive break and getting ready for 2020; we’ll hit the ground running in the New Year with plenty of new projects starting on site, in addition to our current projects continuing at pace.

Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
