Robertson says that when it files its accounts for the year to 31st March 2018, they will show revenue topping £715m, an increase of more than 25% from the previous year’s £572m.
Group chief executive Derek Shewan said that the revenue growth followed a five-year plan put in place after the demise of the private finance initiative (PFI) where Robertson had grown a strong presence.
Major projects of the past year include the £140m Macallan distillery and visitor centre in Speyside, which was handed over in May 2018, and the £330m Aberdeen Exhibition & Conference Centre (AECC), the largest Robertson project in its 52-year history.Â

Robertson founder and executive chairman Bill Robertson said: “We have worked hard at making sure the business has a strong market presence with a client and defined sector focus. This strategic approach has allowed us to play to many of our strengths, which has in turn supported our growth in larger projects since 2010.â€
He added: “At present, we have 237 live infrastructure contracts including schools, universities, residential homes, leisure centres, roads, and bridges, retail outlets and warehousing spanning Scotland and north England.
“We adopt a clear strategy of focus and high-quality deliverability and profitability which provides the best project outcomes for our valued customers and suppliers and a sustainable business into the future. We are in a robust position to continue our momentum which has recently seen our involvement in major opportunities such as the Macallan, the AECC and Balfour Hospital in Orkney – all of which have demanded us to excel.â€
