Laing O’Rourke Reports £73M EBIT for the Year to 31 March 2020

“It gives me pleasure to present a report which shows a business delivering what it said it
would. It is a tribute to the hard work and dedication of our people and the leadership
team guiding them.

“I must also thank them for the sacrifice they have made to help the business build its
resilience. As we end 2020, our collective experience, coupled with a relentless focus on
leading change in the sector, positions us to confidently face the post-COVID, post-Brexit
scenarios.

“While there are still challenges in the market, we remain committed to the changes
necessary to transform our business and lead a more productive, safe and resilient
construction industry.

“The past year has strengthened our resolve and the crisis has reminded policymakers of
the strategic national importance of construction, creating a new wave of interest in the
role and capabilities of the modern methods of construction on which our operating
model is based.

“This new way of building will be vital to delivering tomorrow’s infrastructure and
buildings, and to economic recovery.

“We remain grateful to Government, our clients, suppliers and other stakeholders for their
continued support and collaboration over the period, which bears testimony to the
power of our experience.”
