Building group Rok has reported that revenues for the first quarter of 2008 were up by more than 20% over the prior year. The committed order book across new build and planned repairs and refurbishment activities currently stands at £650m, up 24% on 2007. New long term frameworks won since the beginning of the year, primarily in social housing and education, total £240m, up £70m on 2007. Rok’s total long term partnership arrangements currently stand at £1.9bn, up 27% on the same time last year. “We continue to drive more of our activities to repairs, refurbishment and response maintenance where our self delivery capability is delivering higher rates of customer satisfaction and enhanced margins, demonstrating the robustness of our business model. We remain confident about the Group’s prospects for the year as a whole,” said chairman Stephen Pettit.       |
