What Happened
Red Group, celebrating its tenth year in 2026, reported a significant turnover increase of 11% for the year ending March, rising from £171 million to £190 million. This growth comes alongside a projected margin of 3%. The company invested £1.5 million into a strategic reorganization in April 2026, after the financial reporting period.

The company anticipates more than 10% revenue growth in the current financial year. Red Group's strategic focus on diversification and targeting the right opportunities has propelled it into the top 100 contractors nationally.
