The UK arm of construction giant Hochtief plunged \u00a311m into the red in the year that managing director Sally Cox stepped down after two years in the job.<\/p>\n

Financial accounts for Hochtief (UK) Construction covering 2017 have only just been published at Companies House.<\/p>\n

During that year Hochtief suffered the pre-tax loss, compounding a \u00a34m loss in 2016. Revenue also fell by over a third to \u00a3100m as the firm became more selective about tendering.<\/p>\n

The results follow another set back for Hochtief in April last year, when the High Court ruled it should pay around \u00a3130m in damages following the Glendoe\u00a0hydroelectric dam tunnel collapse in Scotland.<\/p>\n

Lawrence Jackson, who was appointed managing\u00a0director in August 2017, said: “The focus of the business is on stability and controlled\u00a0growth ensuring that new work carries the right risk profile and commercial terms.<\/p>\n

“The strategy for measured growth continues as the company expands its market base with clients such as Network Rail, The Wesh Government, Highways England and Transport for London.”<\/p>\n
