Allstone for that is to question every cost. This is also where the acquisition comes in. We needed to be more diverse and better insulate the business from external variables. This means that if one part of the business is not performing so well, we have other verticals to offset that position. Offering our customer base a larger range of products also increases our reach and helps mitigate the sector specific issues too should they occur.”
Rowan continues by highlighting the company’ s priorities for the rest of the year:“ We’ ve established a set of targets that we want to exceed. Our priority is growth and there are projects in the pipeline that will help to boost those efforts. Whilst we’ re doing that, we’ ve got to make sure that we fully utilize the efficiencies that our investments are intended to deliver. To prepare for any future challenges, we’ re also making sure the business is as lean as possible. This year, we’ re
likely to see considerable local investment, in terms of social housing projects, and tech construction projects, as well as some retail and other development activity. So locally there’ s a lot of activity, which is very exciting for us.
“ We’ re two years into a strategy to double the size of the business in five years,” Rowan elaborates.“ There’ s a significant amount of opportunity and we’ ve developed a strong and reliable foundation from which to pursue further growth. As we progress, we need to ensure we make the right decisions, at the right time, and move neither too fast nor too slowly. It is a balancing act,” he concludes.“ We intend to stick to our strategy and if we do everything as planned, we will deliver significant growth.” ■
