McAleer & Rushe has reported a year of strong financial performance, delivering record turnover and a significant rise in profitability as the business continues to expand its presence across key sectors.

For 2025, the contractor achieved revenue of £627.7 million, representing a 27 per cent increase on the previous year. Pre tax profits also saw substantial growth, rising by 37 per cent to £22 million, reflecting a combination of disciplined delivery, project execution and a strong pipeline of work.

The company has entered 2026 with continued momentum, supported by a robust order book and a high level of secured and future work. To date, McAleer & Rushe has secured £800 million in contracts, with a further £250 million where it has been named preferred contractor. In addition, the business is progressing £600 million of projects under pre construction services agreements, many of which are expected to move to site in 2027.

This forward pipeline provides strong visibility over future workload and underpins confidence in the company’s growth trajectory. It also highlights the increasing role of early contractor involvement in securing major schemes, enabling greater certainty around cost, programme and buildability.

Eamonn Laverty, chief executive at McAleer & Rushe, said the results demonstrate the strength of the company’s strategy and the commitment of its team. He noted that sustained growth has been driven by the quality of its project pipeline and long standing relationships with clients and partners across the industry.

The contractor continues to focus on delivering complex, high quality schemes across sectors including residential, hospitality, commercial and mixed use development. Its integrated design and build model has enabled it to respond effectively to market conditions, while maintaining strong performance across both delivery and financial metrics.

With a strengthened leadership team and continued investment in its operational capability, McAleer & Rushe is well positioned to build on its recent success. The combination of secured work, future opportunities and a growing reputation for delivery places the business in a strong position as it moves through 2026 and into the next phase of its growth.
