After growing turnover by 28% in the year to March 2024, Octavius Infrastructure has posted results for the 2025 financial year showing a further 17% growth.
Octavius recorded turnover of 拢322.9m for the year to 31st March 2025 (2024: 拢276.7m) with pre-tax profit rising to 拢8.6m (2024: 拢4.7m) 鈥� an 80% improvement
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation were up 60% from 拢8.1m last time to 拢13.0m.
Sullivan Street Partners acquired what was then called Osborne Infrastructure from family owned Geoffrey Osborne Ltd in September 2021. In the year before the change of ownership it turned over 拢204m. The company has grown by more than 50% under private equity ownership.
Growth in 2024/25 was spread across Octavius鈥� rail and highways businesses, which both achieved record turnover and profits. This performance was helped by the first full year of trading by the company鈥檚 2023 acquisitions: R&W Civil Engineering (acquired 聽in July 2023 out of administration) which is now Octavius鈥� Regional Civil Engineering business; and wholly-owned subsidiary Navitas Engineering (acquired in December 2023), which provides electrical engineering design and consultancy to the railway and electricity supply industries.
鈥淏ehind these numbers there are so many success stories, amazing projects, brilliant individual and team contributions, and impressive collaborations with our customers and our suppliers,鈥� said Octavius chief executive John Dowsett.
The highest paid director, presumably Dowsett, was rewarded with a substantial pay rise last year, going up from 拢328,000 previously to 拢505,000.
