"2017, which saw Billington celebrate its 70 anniversary, was another successful year and the Group continued its progress in all business divisions.

"During the year, the Company completed a number of high profile projects for various principal contractors, including, the IKEA superstore in Sheffield and the Coventry Water Park. In addition, it continued to invest in technology and machinery, and progress at Shafton Steel Services has increased the range of services that Billington is able to offer.

"I look forward to updating shareholders in March."
