What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The High Court enforced an adjudication against Farrans Construction on October 16, 2026, related to a payment notice for United Utilities Water. This action came as Farrans Construction reported a pre-tax loss of £36.2 million for the year ending December 31, 2025, compared to a pre-tax profit of £3.4 million the previous year. Turnover fell by a fifth, from £382.4 million to £297.7 million, during that period.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The financial results show Farrans Construction experienced a sharp decline in revenue and a major swing from profit to loss, which directors attributed to challenging market conditions and higher provisions linked to legacy contracts. The enforcement action by the High Court confirms existing liabilities for the company, which was acquired by Sisk Group last November.
