In 2015, it contributed £109bn and employed over 2.2 million people, with 194,000 companies in business. The industry is so important that it is often used as a soft marker of the nation’s overall economic health, with public and private spending projects both playing a vital role in GDP creation. Large infrastructure projects such as HS2, the Manchester Airport Expansion and public house building are currently providing construction firm consortia opportunities to win attractive long-term contracts; in addition, opportunities abound in the private sector and for smaller players, with private housebuilding a key area of focus.

Construction firms keen to enjoy sustainable growth are investing in their operations to ensure they have the right kit, the right staff, cutting-edge systems, and highly-trained professionals. They also have strong risk management processes in place, which are vital to secure lucrative contracts. This kind of long-term investment requires finance, however, and most construction firms will be rightly wary about dipping too much into their working capital, fearing the risks of depleting their ready cash reserves.
