Construction firm Hercules Site Services has seen profits jump by almost three quarters as it ramped up labour supply to major projects such as HS2.
The Gloucestershire-based company reported gross profit of £6.9m for the first half of its current financial year - up 71% from the £4m recorded a year earlier. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation also rose to £1.1m during the six months to March from 0.7m in 2022.
The AIM-listed business, which has its head office in South Cerny near Cirencester, had previously confirmed an 85% leap in revenue to £37m in a trading update in May.
