Welsh civil engineering company Jones Bros, which has an office at Linlithgow, has announced record profits.
The firm expanded by almost one quarter last year, in defiance of the recession. Turnover increased 21 per cent to £46.3m in the year to 31 March 2010. Pre-tax profit rose by 33 per cent to £2m. Jones Bros is currently building the £19m Crystal Rig II windfarm in East Lothian. Contracts in Scotland, where the firm is also building infrastructure for a wind farm at Tullo, near Aberdeen, now total 27 per cent of turnover. Managing director Huw Jones said: "We had another year of further solid progress, despite the economic recession and a very competitive market. A big area of expansion for us was the energy sector."
