Construction firm CCG (Scotland) has reported strong growth figures in its yearly results.

Profits rose by 57% in the year to March 2015 to over £7 million.

Turnover also increased in the same period to just under £121m. In addition, the Group's manufacturing division (CCG OSM) reported a turnover of just under £15m and nearly £2m in profits.

CCG Chief Executive and Chairman Alastair Wylie said: "This has been a year of solid progress for the business in what remains a tough economic climate for the sector. Our ongoing investment in our people and facilities has enabled us to sustain and develop our core construction business and to extend that expertise to new sectors and clients.


"Our commitment to skills replenishment is undiminished and our apprenticeship training programme continues to represents 10% of our total workforce. We are especially proud this year to have become the first construction company in Scotland to be awarded the Investors in Young People Gold Award.

"We also particularly believe that this training philosophy coupled with our state of art off-site manufacturing facility means that we are well positioned to respond to the serious challenge of skills and materials shortages in the market place."
