Remediation costs relating to a 鈥渟mall number of legacy issues鈥 were cited as the cause of the loss, while the UK contractor said the increase in turnover was down to strong performances from large scale residential and commercial projects.

Paul Brown, chief executive of John Sisk & Son, said: 鈥淥ur underlying businesses performed very strongly in the year but faced a few challenges related to a small number of legacy issues which we have a firm handle on and have fully provided for in the accounts. 

鈥淎s part of the wider Sisk Group we are able to take a more strategic view on the results and I am very happy that we have an excellent mix of multi-year projects in our UK business.鈥
